Narcan Training- In-person

Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services will provide Narcan training.

This training provides information on common opioids, instructions on how to recognize an overdose and how to administer Naloxone properly. Opioid use is one of the main causes of overdose. Naloxone, also known as Narcan© can be used to temporarily reverse an opioid overdose. Naloxone is known as an opioid antagonist, a medication that blocks opiate receptors, therefore blocking the effects of the opioid.

Montgomery County participates in Maryland’s Overdose Response Program and provides free Naloxone training and kits to the community. This presentation  will include a 30-45 minute presentation and time for questions and a discussion. The presentation outlines valuable information including what an opioid is, how to recognize an opioid, what Narcan is, and how to obtain Narcan. We will provide the slide show and a kit for each participant.

This program will take place on the lower level in the large meeting room.
