County Executive Lamont G. McClure announced that the Northampton County Drug and Alcohol Division continues to offer Narcan training as part of the County’s Fentanyl Awareness campaign, Fake is Real.

“Education and training are the first steps in fighting against substance abuse and addiction,” says Executive Lamont G. McClure. Training participants will learn about the different types of opioids, identify signs and symptoms of opioid abuse and overdose, know how to safely store and dispose of prescription medications, and identify community resources for people facing addiction. Participants also learn how to administer Narcan, a life-saving medication that can reverse an opioid overdose. Participants will receive a free Narcan kit.

Anyone interested in the training should contact Gretchen Hill at ghill@norcopa.gov.
