Naloxone Training
(Narcan)
Naloxone is a life-saving medication used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. At the Larry Labonte Recovery Center, all staff are trained and equipped to not only distribute naloxone but also teach you how to correctly administer it.
​
Our trainings are designed to give you the knowledge and confidence to act in an emergency. Participants will learn:
-
What naloxone is and how to use it effectively during an overdose
-
What happens to the body during an opioid overdose, and why do overdoses occur
-
How to recognize the signs of an overdose and respond quickly
-
Myths vs. facts about fentanyl
-
The Good Samaritan Law and how it protects people who step in to save a life
At the end of the training, any participants who wish to carry Naloxone will receive a Naloxone kit to take with them, ensuring they are prepared to help if needed.
​
Call to set up an appointment or stop in anytime
Monday-Friday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Whether you're looking for a 1st time training, refresher training,
or just kits of Naloxone, we've got you covered.
Training is not mandatory for Naloxone Distribution.

Need Naloxone Outside of LLRC Hours?
LLRC offers 24/7 access to naloxone through a Naloxone Box mounted on a wall outside.
This box is stocked and available to anyone who may need Naloxone outside of LLRC's open hours.​
Naloxone Box Instructions
In case of an opioid overdose emergency:
-
Open the box — turn the key knob and pull to access the contents.
-
Take what you need — naloxone kits and CPR shields are available inside.
-
Be aware: the box will sound an alarm when opened. This is normal and nothing to worry about.
-
Use the naloxone immediately if someone is showing signs of overdose.
-
Call 911 after administering naloxone.
-
Stay with the person until help arrives.
The alarm is only a notification that the box has been opened — please don’t hesitate to take what you need.
Group Naloxone Training
LLRC also offers group trainings, and we can work with groups of any size. LLRC staff have completed trainings and provided Naloxone Kits to local businesses, nonprofits, schools, and more.

Naloxone Outreach
The staff of LLRC go out into the community to provide easier access to naloxone training and kits, offering the same training and kits at outreach locations as we do at the center.
We continue to provide outreach today—bringing naloxone education and resources wherever they’re needed.
For information about current outreach locations, please contact LLRC. If you can’t make it to one of our outreach spots, no worries—stop by the center anytime for training and a kit. We’d love to see you!
