Narcan

‍Did you know in 2021, the upstate NY crude rate of opioid overdose was 23.5 and the rate in Greene County was 46.3, almost double the average of upstate NY counties?

Medical Emergencies dial 911.

Training & Resources

Naloxone (Narcan) swiftly counters opioid overdose, binding to brain receptors to halt opioid effects. It restores normal respiration when breathing slows or ceases from opioid misuse.

NARCAN® Nasal Spray: Needle-free, ready to use, counteracts opioid overdose. Designed for community use, no inhalation needed. Ideal for first responders, family, friends, and caregivers without medical training.

We offer training to individuals, groups and businesses. The Department of Health suggests renewing training every 2 years.

All attendees will be mailed a Narcan kit. If you have Narcan from a previous training, always check the expiration date.

Trainings are available virtually & in-person.

Family & Loved Ones Support Group

Around 20 million people and their families face addiction or substance use disorders annually. This issue can impact anyone, anywhere, and it poses challenges for those caring, living with, or loving someone with addiction. Understanding addiction, treatment, and recovery can aid in connecting with and supporting loved ones on their journey. The effects of experiencing addiction second-hand can be long-lasting, making the lives of those closest to the individual difficult and overwhelming, regardless of their recovery stage.
