WHAT: The North Bend Public Library is teaming up with HIV Alliance to offer free Naloxone Training. Naloxone is a medication that prevents overdose by temporarily stopping the effects of opioids such as Heroin, Fentanyl, Codeine, Oxycodone, Methadone, etc. by allowing breathing to resume and reversing the overdose. Naloxone has been used for more than 40 years and is safe with no side effects. Naloxone is not addictive and has no potential for abuse. It is not a controlled substance and is available over the counter in 46 states. A free nasal naloxone kit will be available to each attendee! WHEN: Naloxone training is on Monday, May 13 starting at 4:00 PM. Training is every half hour with the last session starting at 5:30 PM. WHERE: This free training will be held at the North Bend Public Library. CONTACT: For more information, visit www.northbendlibrary.org or call (541) 756-0400.
