Saving Lives: Morgan Green on Battling the Opioid Crisis (Part 2)

When we talk about an overdose, all we're doing is talking about the fact that your brain is no longer telling your respiratory system it has to remain active.
Ever wondered how you can make a difference in the opioid crisis? In this gripping episode of 'Pack N Recovery', Morgan Green returns to shed light on the life-saving measures everyone should know. She dives into the practicalities of using naloxone, commonly known as Narcan, to reverse an opioid overdose, breaking down the steps in a way that's easy to understand.
But it's not just about the mechanics; Morgan also explores the deeper issues fueling the epidemic and how we can tackle them head-on. You’ll learn about the Good Samaritan Law, which protects those who help in emergencies, and the ethical dilemmas that can arise. This episode isn't just for those in recovery but for anyone who wants to be prepared to save a life.
With resources both on and off-campus, including NRAP and the Downing Clinic, this episode offers a comprehensive guide to supporting recovery efforts. Tune in to arm yourself with knowledge and maybe even become a lifesaver.
