Opioid Overdose

Please click the link below for a short training on how to recognize signs of an overdose and instructions for administering the life-saving medication Narcan.

The majority of drug overdose deaths in the United States involve an opioid such as heroin or prescription pain medications. Naloxone (known as Narcan) nasal spray, is an FDA approved a life-saving medication that can temporarily stop or reverse the effects of an opioid or heroin overdose. This prescription product is approved for use in adults and children and can be easily administered by first responders, family members, or caregivers. It can very quickly restore normal respiration to a person whose breathing has slowed or stopped as a result of overdosing with heroin or prescription opioid pain medications. Naloxone is an extremely safe medication that only has a noticeable effect in people with opioids in their systems.

Reference this training video from time to time so you will always be prepared in the event that you witness an opioid overdose.
