Opioid Overdose Prevention Program

Opioid Overdose Prevention Training and Linkage to Naloxone (Narcan®)

The UHS Addiction Medicine Department runs a New York State Department of Health-certified opioid overdose prevention program. We provide overdose prevention training and linkage to naloxone (Narcan®) to all patients across our department’s care continuum. We also give trainings to individuals and groups in Binghamton and across Broome County.

We provide opioid overdose prevention training and linkage to naloxone (Narcan®) for the public over the telephone. Anyone can access this free service by calling (607) 762-3122 between the hours of 9 a.m. - 11 a.m. Monday through Friday and 1 p.m. - 3 p.m., Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. 

To schedule overdose prevention training for your community organization or group, please call (607) 762-3122.
