BISMARCK, ND (KXNET) — If you or your organization is looking to learn how to recognize an opioid overdose and properly administer Narcan, you have two opportunities to learn.
Bismarck Burleigh Public Health, in partnership with Heartview Foundation and the North Dakota Safety Council, will provide free Narcan training later in November and again in January.
Narcan is a medication that temporarily restores breathing from fentanyl or other opioids during an overdose.
“Our goal is to train the public on signs and symptoms of an overdose, the immediate actions they should take to get first responders to the scene, and steps to stabilize and potentially revive an individual who has overdosed,” said Susan Kahler, BBPH Substance Abuse Prevention Coordinator.
