It Saves Lives. Does it Enable the Addict?

Original Usage:
- First introduced in 1971 for hospitals to prevent patients from overdosing on pain medication during and after surgery.

Concerns people have:
- That drug abusers are viewing this as a safety net and that it will help the addiction cycle to continue.

- There is a misconception with Narcan. It is not pleasurable for the addict, it strips the opiates from the users system so fast that it is a very harsh experience for them.
(Stoffers, 2015)

WEBVTT UNFORTUNATELY, A LOT OF THEM DON'T END UP LEAVING. AMY: WE WANT TO GO TO THE COLLATERAL DAMAGE IN THIS CRISIS, CHILDREN. THEY WITNESS A LOT. THEY SUFFER A LOT IN THIS. IN OUR AUDIENCE TONIGHT, WE HAVE MARTY AND SUE MEAGER. CAN YOU TALK ANECDOTALLY ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE SEEING IN THE MIDST OF THE CRISIS? THANK YOU, AMY. WE SEE THE IMPACT ON FAMILIES, AS EVERYONE ELSE IN THE ROOM IS SEEING. MANY OF OUR CASES INVOLVE HER YOUNG CHILDREN. SOME OF THESE CHILDREN ARE FINDING THE BODIES OF THEIR PARENTS WHO HAVE OVERDOSED. WE HAVE CASES WHERE YOUNG TODDLERS ARE WALKING AROUND, AROUND DRUG PARAPHERNALIA, NEEDLES. WE HAVE HAD SOME OVERDOSES OF CHILDREN. LUCKILY, THEY HAD BEEN REVIVED,. WHEN THEY HAVE FOUND THE DRUGS IN THE HOME. IT IS HAVING A HORRIFIC IMPACT ON FAMILIES AND THE SAFETY OF CHILDREN, AND A YOUNG CHILD WAS WALKING IN THE PARK WITH A GRANDMOTHER WHO SPOTTED A NEEDLE AND SAID, THAT IS FOR DADDY'S MEDICINE. THOSE OF THE STORIES WE ARE SEEING NOW. JOSH: LET'S BRING IN THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL FROM MOULTONBOROUGH ACADEMY. AMY: DEREK PATTERSON. YOU HAVE STUDENTS WITH YOU. ARE YOU DISCUSSING THIS WITH YOUR STUDENTS? THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT INSTALLING NARCAN KITS AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL. MR. PATTERSON: I AM ON THE FRONT LINE WITH CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. WE HAVE A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO BE PROACTIVE HERE IN SCHOOLS, IN EDUCATING PEOPLE. AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE STRUGGLING WITH IS EXACTLY HOW WE DO THAT. WHAT IS THE APPROACH? DO WE TAKE THE APPROACH OF LAW ENFORCEMENT TALKING TO KIDS? DO WE BRING IN RECOVERING ADDICTS? MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS? WE ARE STRUGGLING, AND REALLY LOOKING FOR ANY ADVICE WE CAN. WE HAVE NOT DISCUSSED NARCAN IN OUR SCHOOLS. WE ARE PRETTY FAR REMOVED FROM THAT, AND IT FEELS ALMOST LIKE CAUGHT OFF GUARD A LOT, AS A SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR. WHAT IS THE APPROACH? HOW DO WE APPROACH KIDS? WE DEAL WITH CHILDREN WHO ARE FINDING KIDS -- PARENTS WHO ARE DEAD, OR DEALING WITH INCARCERATED PARENTS. SO ANY ADVICE WE CAN GET AS SCHOOL OFFICIALS, WE ARE LOOKING FOR ANYTHING. AMY: YOU BROUGHT STUDENTS ALONG WHO HAD QUESTIONS. I WONDER IF ONE OF YOU WANTED TO TAKE THE MIC AND POST YOUR QUESTION? AS A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT, HOW ARE WE BEING PREPARED FOR WHAT IS OUT IN THE WORLD? GRADUATING, GOING TO COLLEGES, CITIES, AND THERE'S REALLY NO PREPARATION WITHIN THE SCHOOLS THAT CAN TELL US WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR. JOSH: JACK? MR. WOZMAK: ONE OF THE MEETINGS I HAVE THIS MONTH IS TO MEET WITH THE NEW HAMPSHIRE SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENTS ASSOCIATION. ONE OF THE CONCEPTS IN MY 22 RECOMMENDATIONS WAS TO DO MORE IN TERMS OF INFUSING PREVENTION MESSAGING INTO THE CURRICULUM, WHICH MEANS THAT IN MATH AND SCIENCE AND HISTORY AND SOCIAL STUDIES, THERE ARE MESSAGES WITH RESPECT TO PREVENTION WOVEN IN IN REAL TIME, REAL-LIFE CIRCUMSTANCES, AND IT REALLY BECOMES PART OF THE LESSON PLAN. SO THAT GETS PRETTY COMPLICATED, BECAUSE EACH SUPERINTENDENT, EACH SCHOOL BOARD HAS TO MOVE TO MAKE PREVENTION MORE OF A PART OF THE EDUCATION EXPERIENCE FOR EVERYBODY. SO THAT TAKES A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF WORK. I HAVE HAD TREMENDOUS COOPERATION FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF THE -- EDUCATION IN SPEARHEADING THOSE DISCUSSIONS. ANOTHER PIECE OF LEGISLATION WE WILL BE DISCUSSING AND HOPE TO PASS IS TO BRING THE SCHOOL NURSES CLOSER UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IN TERMS OF CERTIFYING SCHOOL NURSES. THAT WILL INCREASE THEIR SKILL SET IN TERMS OF THESE SORTS OF PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUES AND WEAVE THEM TOGETHER. SCHOOL NURSES ARE FREQUENTLY ON THE FRONT LINES, A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THE MANAGEMENT TEAM IN SCHOOLS. JOSH: BACK TO THE YOUNG LADY WHO JUST SPOKE. ARE YOU SEEING -- YOU ARE IN HIGH SCHOOL. EITHER ONE OF YOU CAN ANSWER. ARE YOU SEEING HEROIN IN THE SCHOOLS,, PILLS? HOW VISIBLE IS THIS? WE ARE FROM A PRETTY SHELTERED SCHOOL IN MOULTONBOROUGH, BUT I WOULD SAY WE INDIRECTLY SEE IT MORE, WITH THE KIDS WHO DON'T COME TO SCHOOL A LOT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET THERE, OR KIDS BEING DIAGNOSED WITH DEPRESSION, THINGS LIKE THAT, AND STARTING TO GET ON PILLS. YOU SEE THAT AS MORE OF A GATEWAY. SO NOT DIRECTLY LIKE THE HEROIN PROBLEM, BUT HOW IT'S GOING TO TURN INTO THAT. JOSH: SO YOU ARE NOT SEEING KNEELS AT PARTIES. NO. JOSH: THAT'S GOOD NEWS. THAT'S SOMETHING YOU WANT TO STAY AHEAD OF AND KEEP THAT FROM GETTING THERE. WHAT IS BEING DONE? AMY: WE WONDER IF YOU HAVE ADVICE FOR EDUCATORS. YOU ARE DEALING WITH CHILDREN. COLLEEN, YOU TOUCHED ON DEPRESSION AND PILLS AS A GATEWAY. I WONDER IF YOU WOULD HAVE ADVICE ON THE EDUCATION FRONT, FROM WHAT YOU ARE SEEING? STAY AWAY FROM IT. [LAUGHTER] IT'S NOT JUST SAYING NO. IF YOUR PRESSURE IS INCREDIBLE AT YOUR AGE, AND THINGS ARE SO AVAILABLE TO YOU. USING SUPPORT. . TALKING TO YOUR FRIENDS. HANGING WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT USING SUBSTANCES, YOU PROBABLY GET EVEN BETTER ADVICE FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN DOWN THAT ROUTE. AMY: HOLLY? MS. CEKALA: A LOT OF THINGS CAN BE DONE. FIRST, BEEF UP HEALTH EDUCATION AND TALK ABOUT THE NEUROLOGICAL CONDITION OF ADDICTION. SOME KIDS GO HOME AND THEY TEACH THEIR PARENTS ABOUT HOW TO GET A FLU SHOT, BECAUSE THEY LEARNED IT IN HEALTH EDUCATION CLASS. SOME KIDS GO HOME AND TEACH THEIR PARENTS ABOUT WHATEVER CONDITION IT IS, BECAUSE THEY LEARNED IN SCHOOL. SO KIDS CAN BE EDUCATORS, TOO, RIGHT? SO IF WE TRY TO TELL YOU ABOUT HOW PEOPLE WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS GRAVITATE, HOW THE CONDITION GETS WORSE, HOW YOU CAN INITIATE A CONVERSATION WITH THEM WHERE YOU COULD GO TO TALK AS A FAMILY, COULD YOU ACCESS THE GUIDANCE COUNSELOR, IS THE GUIDANCE COUNSELOR PREPARED TO RECEIVE YOU IN A NONDISCRIMINATING WAY, A NONJUDGMENT WAY SO YOU CAN GET TO THE SOLUTION? KIDS CAN REALLY DO A LOT. THERE ARE RECOVERY HIGH SCHOOLS IN OTHER STATES, RECOVERY COLLEGIATE PROGRAMS. THERE'S A LOT WE CAN DO TO KEEP OUR FAMILIES HEALTHY, AND AGAIN, JUST SAY NO AND JUST STAY AWAY IS A PRETTY SEVERE MESSAGE WHEN YOU ARE DEALING WITH A FAMILY THAT LOVES EACH OTHER AND IS THERE IN THE HOME TOGETHER. SO THE MESSAGE REALLY NEEDS TO
