And wtf is an eap?
In 2021, it’s disheartening to note that bystanders were present at 46 percent of fatal opioid overdoses. Had they been equipped with Narcan/Naloxone and knew how to use it, lives could have been saved, as reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC].
Carrying naloxone is no different than carrying an epinephrine auto-injector (commonly known by the brand name EpiPen) for someone with allergies. It simply provides an extra layer of protection for those at a higher risk for overdose.
