    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)
