Overdose Response Program

CCACC is certified by the Maryland Department of Health, Center for Harm Reduction Services (2023–2025) to train people on how to respond to opioid overdoses. Our trained volunteers, including local high school and university students, lead this program.

We teach community members how to:

  • Recognize the signs of an opioid overdose

  • Respond quickly and safely

  • Use and give naloxone (a life-saving medication)

  • Perform rescue breathing

  • Call for emergency help (911)

  • Care for someone after naloxone is given
