Students in Meade County learned first-hand what can happen during an overdose thanks to a simulation Tuesday from Baptist Health Hardin.
This simulation focuses on a student who has accidentally overdosed on fentanyl.
The overdose simulation is designed to give young people a glimpse of the real dangers of drug use.
Organizers say it is important for students to know what can happen before they end up in a dangerous situation.
From December 2022 through May 2023, at Baptist Health Hardin, 20% of hospital overdose patients were 18 and under. The Hospital says more than 40% of those overdoses were accidental.
