From January to May 2020, Nevada saw 23 percent more opioid-related overdose deaths than during the same period in 2019, and similar trends are being seen across the country, prompting the Desert Hope Treatment Center in Las Vegas to host a virtual training on the proper administration of Narcan, a drug intended to treat opioid overdoses. The hour-long training, held on Aug. 26, was intended to help those with or without professional medical training learn more about the drug and be more confident administering it in an emergency situation.
