Just this year, there have been more than 1,000 opioid overdoses and 189 people have died, according to the Arizona Department of Health Services.
“Just like the AEDs and CPR, this is the new emerging thing that we need to know. It’s best to have knowledge about this and also it helps us as a community know what’s in our community so we can aid and help them,” said Andre Carver, who attended the training Monday.

The DEA says this is “the deadliest drug threat our country has ever faced.”
