The Beaufort County Alcohol and Drug Abuse Department will be offering a free 5 minute Naloxone training Saturday, February 3, from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m., at Beaufort County Library Lobeco Branch, 1862 Trask Highway (map).

The training helps people understand how to identify the signs of opioid poisoning and how to help someone who may be exposed to opioid toxification or illicit contamination.

No appointment is required, and everyone who takes the five-minute training will receive free supplies of Naloxone. 

Free "Deterra Bags" will be available too. These bags are the proper way to dispose of expired, unwanted medication.
