Arlington Heights funeral home schedules naloxone training session

Glueckert Funeral Home in Arlington Heights has scheduled another training session for the public on how to administer naloxone, the opioid-reversal medication.

The free 45-minute session, taught by Glueckert staff, is scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 11. It comes after the funeral home hosted a series of trainings Aug. 27-31 that were attended by more than 100 people. The Glueckert family decided to host the tutorials after seeing more and more deaths in the community that resulted from opioid overdoses.
