Why Should You Consider Taking Narcan Training:
Opioid overdose deaths have skyrocketed during the pandemic, killing more than 69,000 people in 2020.
- A large reason for the rise in opioid overdoses has to do with fentanyl. The drug is up to 100 times more powerful than morphine and often mixed with other substances, like cocaine and counterfeit pain medication—sometimes without the user’s knowledge.
- Research shows that high rates of naloxone distribution among everyday people and emergency workers could reduce opioid overdose deaths by 21%.
