Naloxone Training
Opioids were involved in over 81,806 overdose deaths in 2022. One study found that bystanders were present in more than one in three overdoses involving opioids. With the right tools, bystanders can act to prevent overdose deaths. Anyone can carry naloxone, give it to someone experiencing an overdose, and potentially save a life. Naloxone is now available in all 50 states.
