Expanding Prehospital Addiction Care – Part 1

A.J. and Dr. Hill join Scott this month, to chat with Dr. Jordan Singer from the UH EMS Institute. What is long-term addiction care? It's more than just showing up, treating the patient's symptoms, i.e., Narcan, and ending the patient's care once they are resuscitated. The crew digs into the norms and what the future might be including, leaving Narcan behind with family members or the patients.

KEEPER NOTE: If a 20-year-old overdoses once, there is a 1 in 10-20 chance that they will be dead in 1 year.
