Think Overdose Isn’t Relevant to You? Think Again, with Brenda Zane

ABOUT THE EPISODE:August 31 is Int'l. Overdose Awareness Day and this informative bonus episode will highlight why drug overdose is closer than you think, why it's on the increase during COVID, and some simple things you can do to save a life, even if you don't know anyone who's addicted. Special guests Aaron and Lin Sternlicht from Family Addiction Specialists provide insights and tips from their on-the-ground work at their practice in New York City, and I cover everything ranging from wisdom teeth to Narcan to fentanyl product in Wuhan, China.
