Chances are you or someone close to you has been directly impacted by the opioid epidemic, which continues to afflict Kentucky. In 2021, overdose deaths in Kentucky reached an all-time high of 2,250, with 90% involving an opioid. Because bystanders are present in more than a third of opioid overdoses, hundreds of these deaths could have been prevented with naloxone, a lifesaving medication that is accessible, safe and easy to administer. Trish Freeman, a professor in the UK College of Pharmacy, talks with Greg about this potentially game-changing development in the fight against opioid addiction and overdose deaths.
