A rate of death by overdose not seen for two decades

Narcan kits are used to prevent opioid overdoses and with the current circulation of fentanyl-laced drugs in the US, could be essential to saving lives. Drug-related deaths were at an all-time high in 2021 according to a recent report. In the space of just three months - from July to September 2021 - unintentional overdoses accounted for 709 drug-related deaths in New York City, the highest number in some two decades.
