overdose reversal training

Overdose reversal training teaches individuals how to recognize and respond to drug overdoses, particularly from opioids like heroin or prescription painkillers. Participants learn to identify symptoms of an overdose, use naloxone (a medication that can quickly reverse the effects of an overdose), and follow emergency procedures. The training often includes practical demonstrations and scenarios to build confidence in administering naloxone. This education aims to empower community members to save lives by effectively responding in emergency situations, ensuring they can act swiftly and safely when faced with an overdose.
