Then a discussion on some of the science of addiction, stigma and harm reduction, before covering emerging drug trends such as fentanyl, xylazine, etc. A detailed discussion on both stimulant and opioid overdoses precedes learning how to reverse an opioid overdose and save a life, including how to use nasal Naloxone, such as Narcan and Kloxxado.
