People die Daily due to opiate use in this country, and that's scary. We had savannah o 'neill, who is the overdose prevention educator, and she's also the naloxone distribution coordinator of Alameda County, and we discussed overdose prevention because most people don't know what that is.

Despite the controversy surrounding them, Savannah makes a compelling case for their necessity.
The episode wraps up with a look at two films that spotlight these facilities, emphasizing the ongoing need for education and awareness.
