Staff administer naloxone to overdose victim found in Carroll County Health Department’s restroom during training class

An incident last week at the Carroll County Health Department where a person overdosed in the facility’s restroom demonstrated the importance of community members being trained to use and carry naloxone, according to health department staff. On Wednesday, health department staff members were in the middle of teaching a life skills training class at the department’s facility on Center Street in Westminster when they were told a person had overdosed in the restroom.
