Revive: Opioid Overdose Reversal Training

REVIVE! is the opioid overdose and naloxone education program for the Commonwealth of Virginia. The training is free and anyone who uses opioids or knows someone who is using opioids is encouraged to attend a training. The training covers:

  • Signs of opioid overdose.
  • How to respond to an opioid overdose emergency with the administration of naloxone, a drug that can be used to treat narcotic overdoses in emergency situations.
  • Also, anyone who completes the training will be eligible to receive free naloxone nasal spray. They may choose to receive naloxone by mail or arrange pickup. Please note: Shipping times for the naloxone vary based on current supply and shipping destination. We appreciate your patience as some may experience delays.
