Though drug-related deaths dropped 19% from last year (153 total), the epidemic remains deadly, especially as fentanyl lurks in unexpected places and can kill even in tiny doses. Older adults are increasingly affected, and organizations like Wake Up Carolina are distributing free Narcan kits and training to combat this. Narcan, or naloxone, can reverse overdoses — and it’s available through community partners and the Bridge2Hope app. Every kit saved could mean a life saved.
