Opioid Overdose Response Awareness

Each day, more than 130 people in the U.S. die after overdosing on opioids, such as prescription narcotics, heroin and fentanyl, creating a national health crisis. Opioid emergency-related deaths often can be prevented if the person receives emergency medical care and timely administration of an opioid reversal agent. This course provides employees with an overview of opioid overdose response procedures and the usage, storage and maintenance of opioid reversal agents, such as naloxone.
