Francis Scott Key Bridge Incident Updates

Opioid Overdose Response Training

The Baltimore County Department of Health is offering free, two-hour training sessions online via Webex on how to recognize, prevent and respond to an opioid overdose by using intranasal naloxone—a prescription medication that is used to reverse an overdose that cannot be used to get high and it is not addictive.

About the Training

Individuals concerned that a loved one is at risk for overdosing on heroin or prescription pain medication and those with certificates that will expire within the next three months are encouraged to attend this training.

Topics

Training participants will learn:

  • What an opioid is
  • How to recognize, respond to and prevent an opioid overdose
  • How to administer intranasal naloxone to reverse an overdose
