Since the congregation took naloxone training in March, there’s been seven outside St. Albans. But that number is quite modest. At the drop-in centre beneath the church, where some of Ottawa’s most afflicted seek daytime refuge once the overnight shelters close, they’re doing at least one [naloxone application] a day.

    Sure, but people quit addictions all the time. Smoking is on a massive decline, drinking too. Somehow the drug that can kill you in an instant is so popular that churches are handing out kits to save them. Insanity.

        Meh, opioid addiction is a waste of our time. We should let them figure it out themselves. They’re all adults.
