The seminar will also address the rights and responsibilities of those seeking to utilize Naloxone kits in emergencies. Free Naloxone kits will be available to participants, in accordance with regulations, and guidelines from the sponsors supplying the free kits.
The drug Naloxone (more commonly known as a product called Narcan) can reverse the effects of opiates and opioids (including heroin and many prescription painkillers) almost immediately when administered intravenously (with a needle) or intranasal (with a nasal spray). Emergency responders have carried Naloxone for many years, administering it under physician supervision when called to a scene of an overdose. Poison Control or emergency medical staff would rely on the availability of Naloxone as an emergency measure to counter an overdose, where death from an overdose was likely.
