Despite new numbers from the CDC showing fatal drug overdoses slightly down statewide from 2021 to 2022, some Tampa Bay area counties have seen an increase in that same timeframe.
Still, experts say the use of a now over-the-counter medication could help bring those numbers down by the end of 2023.
Narcan, generically known as naloxone, is a medication that can help revive someone during an overdose. Organizations like the Epicenter Recovery Foundation distribute Narcan free of charge to the public as part of its harm reduction efforts.
