Unity Place Holds Narcan Training to Mark Recovery Month

Unity Place of Monmouth County on September 13 hosted a training on administering Narcan, which reverses the effects of an opiate overdose. Kisha Franklin of Jersey Shore Addiction Services is pictured demonstrating how to administer Narcan for the 12 attendees at the training.  The training was part of Unity Place’s celebration of National Addiction Recovery Month. Narcan has reversed thousands of opiate overdoses in New Jersey in recent years. After a person is  revived with Narcan, they are urged to seek treatment for their addiction, a service Unity Place has provided to hundreds with opiate dependence.
