Deltona residents now have expanded access to crucial overdose prevention resources with the installation of a new community Narcan station at 1685 Providence Boulevard, as PR Newswire reported on November 2, 2026. This initiative by Foundations to Freedom marks a significant step in making lifesaving tools more readily available across Volusia County, including right here in our city.
The installation of this station is a core part of Foundations to Freedom’s ongoing commitment to reduce overdose fatalities, challenge the stigma often associated with substance use disorder, and ensure that individuals and families facing these challenges have access to critical resources precisely when they are most needed within the community.
Narcan, also known by its generic name naloxone, is a powerful and lifesaving medication specifically designed to rapidly reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. By strategically placing these Narcan stations throughout the community, Foundations to Freedom is working to equip residents with the necessary tools and knowledge to effectively respond during an overdose emergency, potentially saving lives.
Katherine Russell, speaking on behalf of Foundations to Freedom to PR Newswire, highlighted the organization’s dedication, stating, “Our mission goes beyond providing recovery housing.” She emphasized their commitment to meeting individuals where they are, removing barriers that hinder access to lifesaving resources, and ensuring that communities are aware that, as she put it, “recovery is possible.” Russell further articulated that each Narcan station installed represents another opportunity to save a life and provide individuals with a crucial chance at recovery.
Foundations to Freedom actively collaborates with a diverse range of local stakeholders. These partners include local governments, healthcare providers, various businesses, educational institutions, and other community organizations. Through these collaborations, the organization strives to broaden overdose prevention education efforts and further expand access to Narcan across the region.
As a nonprofit organization, Foundations to Freedom is dedicated to offering comprehensive support to individuals and families grappling with substance use disorder. Their services encompass structured recovery housing, peer support programs, individualized case management, and access to a wide array of recovery resources. The organization’s work extends across both Volusia and Flagler counties, with a core mission to restore hope, facilitate the rebuilding of families, and establish clear pathways to lasting recovery for those they serve.
The new Narcan station in Deltona represents a tangible effort to make a difference in local public health, providing immediate access to a resource that can turn the tide in an emergency and support the broader goal of community well-being and recovery.
