Free opioid, Narcan classes at York County Libraries

York County Libraries will host a free series of eight classes on two topics — Opioid 101 and Narcan 101 — at libraries throughout the county over the next few months.
The purpose of the classes, presented in partnership with York County government and the York/Adams Drug & Alcohol Commission, is to help community members understand and respond to the opioid crisis in their communities.
The classes will cover a general overview of opioids and addiction as well as Narcan, a brand of naloxone, which can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose and save lives.
