Opioid Overdose Prevention Program Outreach
The Center of Recovery & Wellness located at 25-29 Avenue D, a recognized Opioid Overdose Prevention site through the New York State and under DOHMH, is offering a free program to specifically educate and train people about opioid overdose and distributing Naloxone throughout our community. Anyone over the age of 18 years old can be trained and receive a Naloxone kit free of charge and can be used if a person is in a position of saving a life of someone who has overdosed.
