Opiate Overdose Workshop: November 6

Weigel Health Promotions will host an Opiate Overdose workshop through Horizon Health Services on Friday, November 6, at 12:45 p.m. in Butler Library 210. Overdoses of prescription opiates and heroin are a huge concern in Western New York and the United States as a whole. Horizon Health Services offers training on the use of the drug Narcan (naloxone) to temporarily reverse the effects of opiate overdose and give victims a chance at survival.

This workshop covers how to identify if a user is in active overdose, how to administer Narcan, and how to get the victim the appropriate help they need.

For more Weigel Health Promotions programs, please check out our newsletter and follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Please contact Paula Madrigal, wellness and prevention coordinator, 878-4719, with questions or concerns.
