Montgomery County, TN – The Montgomery County Health Council and the Allies For Substance Abuse Prevention of Montgomery County (ASAP) have partnered with the Regional Overdose Prevention Specialists (ROPS) to provide two free Narcan trainings next week. Narcan (brand name for Naloxone) is a medication given as a nasal spray that counters the effects of an opioid overdose.
During the trainings, individuals learn how to identify an overdose and administer Naloxone.

The trainings are free and open to the public. We encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity to learn about and receive this life saving medication.
