County Executive
Steve Bellone and Dr. James Tomarken, Commissioner of Health, are encouraging
residents to take advantage of scheduled Opioid Overdose Prevention Program-Narcan
Training Classes.
The training, which
meets New York State Department of Health requirements, will enable
participants to recognize an opioid overdose, administer intranasal Narcan and
take additional steps until EMS arrives. Participants will receive a
certificate of completion and an emergency resuscitation kit that includes nasal
Narcan. The classes will take place as follows:
Sag Harbor
Tuesday January 17, 2017, 6:30p.m.
The Ugly Truth
(with Narcan Dispensing)
Sponsored by the Suffolk
County Sheriff’s Office.
Although we have
all read and heard the headlines about Heroin in our neighborhoods, and the
dangers of easy
access to powerful prescriptions and medication, we rarely hear “The Ugly Truth”
behind these headlines. The Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office will discuss how to
recognize heroin and prescription drug abuse among teenagers and what actions
parents
can and should
take.
