Once administered, the medication can quickly restore normal, regular breathing to someone overdosing on opioids, like fentanyl.
While there have been no deaths because of opioid overdoses at juvenile detention facilities, Supervisor Lindsey Horvath said incidents of drugs and other contraband being brought into juvenile halls point to the need to have the medication available. She cited one incident in which a drone dropped drugs into a juvenile facility.
“Today’s motion is proactive to save lives,” Horvath said. “While we hope the need to deploy Narcan will never arise, we can’t afford to be unprepared.”
