Just thought I post this for those with loved one's struggling with heroin and opioid addiction.
I am watching Aljazeera News right now. There's a special on about addiction in america.
This drug, Narcan, apparently it's used in injection form, has reversed over 8,000 plus overdoses. Over 8,000 people died of an overdose from heroin or opioid's in the last year.
They actually think this drug is not only reversing overdoses, but helping with behavior changes too.
Paramedics and Police carry this in something like 29 states (didn't quite catch it but something like this number), and now drug users are carrying it and saving each others lives, and acting as somewhat of a deterrent to the ones seeing and using it. Seems like it might encourage them to use more and more. Not sure how I feel about it.
Huh...never heard of this, but thought I would put it out here.
Also, it apparently works for more than just heroin and opioids, as it jump starts breathing again.
Maybe medical people on here would know more, but thought I would share what I just heard on one of my favorite news channels.
