Indian River Central School District is registered in New York State as an Opioid Overdose Prevention Program. This means we are required to keep opioid antagonists like naloxone in each school building to ensure access for use during emergencies to any student or school personnel having opioid overdose symptoms. We also have staff in each building that are trained to naloxone in the event of a opioid overdose.

Save Lives with Naloxone
Naloxone is a medicine that rapidly reverses an opioid overdose by attaching to opioid receptors in the body and blocking their effects.
Naloxone can quickly restore normal breathing to a person if their breathing has slowed or stopped because of an opioid overdose.
Naloxone should be given to any person who shows signs of an opioid overdose or when an overdose is suspected.
Naloxone is safe and does not have any long-lasting effects.
