Experts Say...
Watertown Fire Chief Matt Timerman stated that within one month, only one overdose was able to be treated with a single use of Narcan.
"We're often having to give multiple doses. All the rest were all multiple doses, which means the severity of the overdoses are larger than they have been in the past," Timerman said.
The spike in drug-related overdoses has caused a crackdown on drug use, according to Public Health Planner Steve Jennings.
"Our stance is we're not going to give up on people. We know if they keep going down this road it could kill them, but we want to do everything we can to try to help them and try to stop it," Jennings states.
