In response to "I do keep seeing the PSA ads about town about the Narcan. I think I'd want to (perhaps be required to?) take a class first about when/how to use?" by ty97

We carry it. You never know who could OD, even people in offices prescribed opioids for pain could have it happen.

If you can get naloxone, it's the nasal spray and easier to administer. The injection stuff lasts longer, and it's also easy to administer, but requires a step more.

Training is required, but quick and online, includes a few things on how to recognize an OD, ways to wake someone up (chest rakes), and how to administer.

Def do carry it in something like a work bag, you never know who you can help.
