Starting Aug. 14, the city of Phoenix will be making sure everyone has access to Narcan, a life-saving tool that will be available for free at all of its libraries. FOX 10s Danielle Miller reports.

Phoenix says over the past decade, opioid overdoses have been on the rise and just last year, 991 people died of an overdose in the city, which accounted for more than half of all overdose deaths in Maricopa County.

The free kits will contain two doses of Narcan nasal spray, a pair of gloves, and a pamphlet with information on overdose symptoms and instructions.
