I don't know anyone with an opioid addiction (at least that I know of), but I wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea to pick some up just to keep on me in case of emergency?

I thought I didn’t know anyone until it was too late. This program is life changing, pick one up. When states offer services like this we should use them. You never know.

I'm sorry for your loss :(

I'll make sure to pick one up once the program starts! Like you said, you never know, and it is better to be safe than sorry.

I don’t know anyone either but it seems to be a handy thing to have on ones person. I think there are public classes you can take on how to administer it too if you want to be extra prepred

I believe the cops have had Narcan with them for a while. Also, substance test kits.

If you spend time in areas with open air drug use or know people that use it, then definitely. Otherwise, it'd be extremely rare but can be in ICOE thing.

In Paterson I know people that carry it for that reason, and we have saved people because of it.
