Sweetser's @knowyouroptionsme Liaison Jen Giggey was interviewed by @wmtwtv about the rise of methamphetamine overdoses and what resources are available.
"It doesn't cost the same amount of money to process it and make it, so therefore, people have easier access to it," says Jen Giggey, Know Your OPTIONS (Overdose Prevention Through Intensive Outreach, Naloxone, and Safety) liaison for Sweetser.
There are currently no approved medications that treat or reverse the effects of a meth overdose.
