Naloxone (Narcan) Training

We offer free Naloxone training at our facility every third Tuesday of the month at 10:00am and 10:30am. Please visit our Calendar page for a complete list of dates.

What is Naloxone (Narcan)?

Naloxone is the antidote for an opioid overdose. It competes for the same part of the brain where the opioid works. Naloxone wins, and the opioid stops working. This makes the person breathe well again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can reverse an opioid overdose?

Anyone who wants to save a life.

What is an opioid?

Opioids are drugs that manage pain. They are sold as a prescription: morphine, codeine, hydrocodone, oxycodone and others, or they are sold on the street (illegally): heroin, non-prescription fentanyl, carfentanil and others.

How can I tell if someone has overdosed on an opioid?

An opioid overdose is possible if the person:

1. Is unconscious and not responding to sounds, light shaking, or pain.

2. Not breathing enough or at all. They may have a bluish color to skin, lips, or fingertips. They may make gurgling sounds when they breathe.

Will the person wake up if I give naloxone?

Not always. As long as the person is breathing again, the naloxone did its job. If the person had a bluish color and is no longer blue, the naloxone did its job. Naloxone only stops opioids from working. Other drugs or alcohol may keep the person unconscious.
