North Bend Public Library and HIV Alliance Offer Free Naloxone Training

NBPL release - The North Bend Public Library, in partnership with HIV Alliance, will host a free Naloxone Training on Monday, January 12, beginning at 4:00 PM. Training sessions will be offered every half hour, with the final session starting at 5:30 PM. Each participant will receive a free nasal naloxone kit. Naloxone is a life-saving medication that can reverse an opioid overdose by temporarily blocking the effects of opioids such as heroin, fentanyl, codeine, oxycodone, methadone, and others. By restoring normal breathing, naloxone can prevent fatal overdoses. Used safely for more than 40 years, naloxone is not addictive, has no potential for abuse, and has no harmful side effects. It is not a controlled substance and is available over the counter in most states, including Oregon. This training will equip participants with the knowledge and tools they need to save a life. Knowing how naloxone works could help you assist someone in a critical situation.
