“Naloxone (also called Narcan) reverses an opioid overdose. It is easy to use, and there are no serious side effects—even if someone is not experiencing overdose. You can purchase naloxone at a Maryland pharmacy without a prescription.
Individuals concerned that a loved one is at risk for overdosing on heroin or prescription pain medication" and those with certificates that will expire within the next three months are encouraged to attend this training.
Training participants will learn:
What an opioid is
How to recognize, respond to and prevent an opioid overdose
How to administer intranasal naloxone to reverse an overdose”
FOR: Anyone interested in deepening their knowledge of naloxone and opioid use in the peer recovery community
