Narcan is a
medication designed to reverse opioid overdose rapidly. It is an opioid
antagonist, meaning that it binds to opioid receptors in the brain and can
change and block the effects of other opioids. It can quickly restore normal
respiration to a person whose breathing has slowed or stopped due to overdosing
with an opioid such as heroin or prescription medications.
Training will take place on the third Thursday of each month at 7:00 PM.
