Do you know someone who is at risk for a heroin/opioid overdose? The Overdose Prevention Act now allows doctors the ability to prescribe the opiate antidote Narcan (naloxone) to those in a position to help someone else during an overdose of heroin or other opioids. The law also eliminates civil and criminal liability to anyone who administers naloxone. Join us on Tuesday, June 5th for a free training and education on how to administer naloxone to reverse a heroin/opioid overdose. All training sessions are from 6 PM to 8 PMat the Living Proof Recovery Center in Voorhees and will be provided by credentialed addiction counselors and licensed nurses in a small, confidential setting to allow participants to receive hands-on training. Participants who successfully complete the training will receive a free naloxone kit. Training sessions are brought to you by Urban Treatment Associations, Inc. and supported by the Camden County Board of Freeholders' Addiction Awareness Task Force
