COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KDVR) – On Tuesday morning El Paso County deputies were dispatched to a Colorado Springs home for a drug overdose.
“The importance of providing first responders with effective tools like Narcan, can never be understated. A life was saved, and without Narcan this would not have been possible.” Sheriff Bill Elder.
A man was found unresponsive, not breathing and with a weak pulse. A deputy administered 2 doses of Narcan before the man began breathing normally and regained consciousness.
The man had overdosed on Heroin. He was transported to the nearest hospital for further medical treatment.
