I’m in the bible belt, but enough church going kids dropped dead and they’re now making it super easy to get naloxone even here.
Naloxone when properly administered is a get out of jail free card almost, very high success rate.
Only upside I’m seeing now is that heroin isn’t an other side of town drug anymore in America, anyone’s kids can get into it and addiction doesn’t give a shit how many commas are in your bank account or how any of that so awareness is spreading that it isn’t really a moral deficiency. That said addiction treatment and support groups are stuck under an old paradigm that you’re powerless to control the disease. I was browsing a book that suggested addiction is a developmental disorder.
I kinda went tangental in that last paragraph but harm reduction is always the name of the game and the more it is integrated into police and health care the better everyone will be.
