naloxone kit reversals reported to Georgia Overdose Prevention.
Every kit in a trained hand is another overdose that can be reversed.
Georgia Overdose Prevention distributes free naloxone rescue kits to anyone who knows a person at risk. What limits how many people that reaches is not supply. It is having enough volunteers who understand naloxone well enough to hand it out and explain it with confidence.
This short training gives you that foundation, so you can step into the field ready and sure of what to do.
Georgia's 911 Medical Amnesty Law protects the person who calls for help and the person overdosing from arrest for personal-use amounts of drugs, alcohol, or paraphernalia. That is why the message is simple: don't run, call 911.
