Confidential CEO Visits TNT Jason Berman Show to Discuss Opioid Epidemic

Confidential Recovery's CEO Scott H. Silverman visited TNT to discuss a variety of issues that are affecting and contributing to the opioid epidemic. The topics discussed included border policy, homeless policy, mental health trends, and the rise in overdose rates.

Narcan has its Limits

One thing that continually comes up in recent public appearances that Scott makes is that Narcan isn't necessarily enough on its own to save a life.  Depending on how heavy of a dose the person is suffering from, sometimes multiple Narcan doses are required. A recent report from a Los Angeles was that 27% of the fatal overdoses had Narcan in their system.  Based on a tragic story from a family Scott has been working with he has recently started campaigning to try to bring awareness to the fact that people need to dial 911 immediately in addition to using Narcan.

The Good News - Fatal Overdoses are Down

The Center for Disease Control recently announced that drug overdoses dropped for the first time in many years upward and possibly higher than 10%.
