“I still vividly remember the day I witnessed Narcan--the medication that reverses an opioid overdose-- administered for the first time,” writes scholar Kevan Shah. “Within a matter of minutes, a young man went from unresponsive to alert..." https://t.co/ydKm5YoD69

Check out our latest Op-Ed in The Hill on the rapidly rising number of fatal overdoses and the need for Narcan to be made readily available at all schools across the U.S.

We cannot afford to keep losing a full classroom of students every week.

"More than 4 in 10 Americans personally know someone who has died of an overdose, and an estimated 13% of the population have had their lives disrupted as a result, according to a new study in the @AMJPublicHealth

"Since 2000, 1.1 million people have fatally overdosed in the United States...

...42 percent of U.S. adults said they have known someone who died from drug overdose. That amounts to an estimated 125 million Americans."

🚨New research🚨

>40% of US adults know someone who died of drug overdose

And 1 in 8 adults report overdose deaths have disrupted their lives

We can be doing much more to help PWUD & their families/friends

Congrats to Alison Athey for leading this work

The Campus Opioid Safety Act required campus health centers at most public colleges and universities to offer students free Narcan, a nasal spray that can reverse an opioid overdose. Only some are giving out the life-saving nasal spray https://t.co/oVreRVjFY4

Honolulu becomes first American city to require that bars, nightclubs and restaurants carry the anti-overdose medication naloxone https://t.co/ysNQ7CllCG

"Fentanyl on its own is the key culprit in adolescent overdoses. For teens, 84 percent of fatal overdoses involved fentanyl, and 56 percent of all overdoses involved only fentanyl."

“Rather than stigmatizing individuals who use drugs, it’s more important to offer care in nontraditional settings, such as overdose prevention sites, that can help direct patients toward prevention and treatment strategies.” Important ⁦@JMPerroneMD⁩ https://t.co/te6dVCSECU

[U.S. FDA @US_FDA]

Today, we approved a naloxone hydrochloride nasal spray for OTC, nonprescription use for the emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose. https://t.co/6TzFrvZRxW

This is the 2nd nonprescription naloxone product the agency has approved, helping increase consumer access to naloxone without a prescription.

“Fentanyl right now is the largest killer of individuals between the age of 18 and 45. It exceeds all other causes of death. Every 8.57 seconds, somebody dies of a #fentanyl overdose.”

California @SenatorUmberg discusses the impacts of fentanyl in CA.

Take the few minutes to learn about and carry Narcan.

"this small step can shift attitudes and help people with addictions get the care they need. Instead of punishing people, ... help give them an opportunity to get better."

“I want these sites to be open across the country,” she said. “I want people’s lives to be saved.” Thank you ⁦@DavidOvalle305⁩ ⁦@washingtonpost⁩ for highlighting this important strategy to address America’s overdose crisis. https://t.co/RgxPzmZX2A

NARCAN should be on school campuses.

"This is like putting EpiPens, defibrillators out in the community. It's not something you ever want to use, but everyone should be glad that it is available because the alternative would be far worse."

Breaking News: The FDA approved Narcan, a nasal spray that reverses opioid overdoses, for over-the-counter sales.

[End Overdose Together @end_overdose]

"Narcan access laws and pharmacy narcan distribution were more consistently associated with decreases rather than increases in lifetime heroin and IDU among adolescents. Our findings therefore do not support concerns that narcan access promotes high-risk adolescent substance use"

FDA approves the first over-the-counter version of the opioid antidote Narcan as US drug overdose deaths continue to hover near record levels https://t.co/Lw9XxGyafZ
