Opioid use is one of the main causes of overdose. Naloxone, also known as Narcan©, is a medication that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. In Montgomery County, public safety workers, including Police and Fire and Rescue Services, carry Naloxone. School health nurses have been trained in using Naloxone, and there is Naloxone available at all middle and high schools. Montgomery County participates in Maryland’s Overdose Response Program and provides free Naloxone training and kits to the community.
The training provides information on common opioids, instructions on how to recognize an overdose, and how to administer Naloxone properly.
