Narcan Training

Help save the life of a loved one!

Learn:

• The signs of an opiate overdose;
• How to reverse an opiate overdose;
• About new treatment approaches.

Every day, at least one Long Islander dies from an opiate overdose.  And those are only the ones we know of - the ones directly caused by Heroin or prescription painkillers such as Percoset or Oxycodone.  About 7 out of 10 died at home.  If you don't think it can happen to someone you care about, please think again.  Overdoses can happen to everyone.

At the training you will be provided with Naloxone and they will show you how and when to use it.  They will also tell you about Nassau's newest and effective treatment approaches - including injectable, extended-release Naltrexone; and integrated care.
