Caleb keeps Narcan on hand to help his friend who often parties too hard and risks accidental overdose. Meg also has Narcan accessible in case her husband, who takes prescription opioids for back pain and other medications, accidentally overdoses by forgetting what he has already taken. The documents encourage people to always call 911 in addition to administering Narcan in case of an opioid overdose, as Narcan can reverse the effects of an overdose but medical assistance is still needed.
