A few chances to learn to use the potentially life-saving drug Narcan are being offered by the Marshall County Health Department this week. Training sessions will be held today at 11:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. at the Community Resource Center in Plymouth. Health board member Tracy Fox told the Culver Town Council last week that a third training has been scheduled for this Thursday at 5:00 p.m. at the Culver Beach Lodge.
She said that during the events, the Health Department will give out the overdose reversal drug Narcan for free and offer an easy-to-understand explanation of how to use it. Fox added that the training sessions are open to anybody. They’re expected to last about an hour.
The training sessions come after Marshall County saw seven overdoses in a two-day period, over the Thanksgiving weekend.
