Naloxone can reverse a potentially fatal overdose by allowing the person to breathe normally after the opioid medication has slowed their breathing to a dangerous rate. Having access to Naloxone, and having the proper training to use it, could save a life.

How can I do that?

1. View the Regional Overdose Prevention Specialist (ROPS) Map to find contact information for your region.
2. Contact the specialist in your region to schedule an opioid education and naloxone training.
