Naloxone for Opioid Overdose Training (Virtual)

Did you know there were over 81,000 drug overdose deaths in the United States in 2020? Also in 2020, Nevada was placed on “red alert” status by the National Drug Helpline due to an increase in opioid-related deaths.

NARCAN® (naloxone) is a medication designed to rapidly and safely reverse an opioid overdose. Developed for first responders, family, friends and caregivers, it is the first nasal formulation of naloxone for the treatment of opioid overdose that does not require specialized training.

To increase awareness about this life-saving medication, Partnership Carson City encourages everyone to join our virtual naloxone trainings. Trainings last one hour and are open for anyone to join on the third Thursday of every other month. Participants may join by checking our events calendar here.

For more information, please contact Stacia Nepper at stacia@pcccarson.org.
