Life-Saving Naloxone Skills

​

The Veterans Health Administration, part of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), has produced a series of YouTube videos to educate individuals on the safe administration of naloxone, an emergency opioid-overdose antidote that helps prevent overdose deaths.  The videos show how to recognize the signs of an opioid overdose and administer intranasal or intramuscular naloxone, or use a naloxone auto-injector. See the VA YouTube channel for more information on naloxone for people taking prescribed opioids and for people with opioid use disorders.
