The summit will offer free training from 3 to 4:30 p.m. on how to administer naloxone following an actual or suspected overdose of heroin or opioids. Naloxone, which is available in Virginia without a prescription, can temporarily reverse the drugs' toxic effects, allowing time to seek professional medical attention.
The training, developed by the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services, is intended for family and friends of someone who is at risk of an overdose. The class provides hands-on instruction on the administration of naloxone's nasal form and is restricted to individuals 18 and older. Registration is mandatory in order to attend the training. To register, go to www.surveymonkey.com/r/ZZC6V6X The training is limited to 150 participants, and they will leave the session with a complimentary dose of naloxone.
