Families Against Narcotics offers free Naloxone training sessions for community members interested in learning how to properly administer the medication.

Naloxone is a medication called an "opioid antagonist" used to counter the effects of opioid overdose, for example opioid and heroin overdose. Naloxone only works if a person has opioids in their system; the medication has no effect if opioids are absent. Learn how to use the medication and what to do if you suspect someone is overdosing.

Each attendee will receive a free dose of Naloxone to take home.
