Massachusetts Department of Public Health
Opioid Overdose Prevention & Reversal Project
Opioid Overdose is one of the leading causes of deaths in Massachusetts. Some examples
of opioids include Heroin, Oxycodone, Methadone, Fentanyl, Codeine, & Morphine. In
order to save lives, the Department of Public Health is conducting a pilot project to
distribute a medication called nasal naloxone that can reverse an opioid overdose.
Nasal Naloxone (also known
as Narcan®) In an overdose,
opioids can slow breathing
to the point of death. Nasal
naloxone blocks the opioids
and restores normal
breathing when sprayed into
the nose of someone who
has overdosed. It is safe,
easy to administer, and has
no potential for abuse.
Program Overview
Programs participating in the pilot project
offer referrals to substance abuse treatment
for all participants who are misusing opioids.
These programs train opioid users, their
families and their friends on how to prevent
and recognize an opioid overdose, and what
to do if one occurs. The training covers the
importance of calling 9-1-1, how to perform
rescue breathing, and how to administer
nasal naloxone.

TREASURER/COLLECTOR
Explanation of LOCKBOX
The Town of Pepperell is now utilizing a “LOCKBOX” for payments
sent to the town for: Motor Vehicle Excise, Real Estate, and
Personal Property taxes. Due to financial cutbacks within the
town, this service allows us to process payments more efficiently.
The return payments will be sent to Town of Pepperell, P.O. Box
782, Reading, MA. At that address, your payments will be
received by Century Bank who will process your payments daily
and immediately deposit the payment into Pepperell’s account.
This service expedites the tasks of opening mail, sorting payments
and manually posting the payments by the collector’s office.
We encourage you to use this service, but
you are always welcome to come to the Town
Hall to make a payment.
