Opioid usage in Burke County remains a pressing issue despite a decline in opioid overdose deaths. Burke Recovery and the Burke County Chamber of Commerce collaborated to host training sessions on naloxone, a medication that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. The sessions aimed to educate the community on recognizing the signs of an overdose and administering naloxone effectively. While the monthly opioid-related deaths have decreased significantly, the availability of naloxone has inadvertently led to an increase in opioid usage, with reports of "naloxone parties" where individuals purposely overdose. Naloxone, available in nasal spray and injection form, has become a crucial tool in combating opioid overdoses, with law enforcement agencies and organizations like Burke Recovery providing free distribution of the medication.
