Active Assist HCS - CPR Training Center offers CPR classes that will teach you how to recognize an emergency and respond in a confident and competent way. We make learning CPR easy and stress free. We encourage everyone to know CPR and have naloxone in their home, so that you are prepared to respond to an opioid overdose. You can get free naloxone at NJ pharmacies or contact the NJ Department of Health.

When it comes to saving lives, the combination of CPR and Narcan/naloxone can have a significant impact. In cases where opioids have caused cardiac arrest, administering CPR while waiting for the effects of Narcan/naloxone to take hold can be lifesaving. CPR helps maintain blood flow and oxygenation to the vital organs, increasing the chances of survival.

By combining these two life-saving techniques, loved ones, bystanders and healthcare professionals can maximize their efforts in an opioid related emergency. While CPR keeps the blood flowing, Narcan/naloxone works to reverse the effects of the opioid overdose, allowing the victim a better chance of survival.

If you notice someone is UNRESPONSIVE and NOT BREATHING - START CPR.
