More California schools are starting to keep Narcan, a drug used to prevent accidental drug overdoses, on campus as the use of opioids in schools continue to rise.
Naloxone has been the only antidote to opioids for over 50 years, according to the National Library of Medicine, but it was initially used by first responders and hospitals. In recent years, public libraries have started to keep them on site.
Aimee Dunkle founded The Solace Foundation of Orange County, the first naloxone distribution program in the area, in honor of her son Ben. Ben accidentally overdosed in a car after a years-long"He'd been in a treatment center and had left with a group of others, and he overdosed in a car three minutes from the fire station," Dunkle said."The three people who he was with did not call 911."Instead of calling 911, they took Ben's body out of the car.
Less than 20 miles away in Laguna Beach, schools changed their board policies in the last couple of years to permit Narcan on campus. Laguna Beach Unified School District keeps doses of Narcan in each school's health office. This is the first year they are doing so.
