The Snohomish Health District, under its Snohomish Overdose
Prevention program, will host Narcan (Naloxone) training at the Everett Public
Library on January 31st from 6pm to 7pm.
Narcan is an easily administered drug that blocks the
effects of an opioid overdose.
Training will include how to administer Narcan, what makes opioids
and opiates, how they affect the body, who is at risk of an overdose, what an opioid
overdose looks like, and how you can obtain Narcan.
This training is for anyone. People who might be especially
interested might include friends or family of people who are addicted to
opioids or heroin. Knowing how to apply Narcan just might save a life.
