Overdose Surge in Lubbock | Lubbock News
Description
Lubbock’s paramedics are battling a surge in overdose calls—with 194 in 2025 alone and 110 already this year, peaking in April and May. Drugs are evolving, mixing opioids with synthetics, creating unpredictable effects. But hope lies in early action: bystanders using NARCAN—widely available at pharmacies—can be lifesavers before EMS arrives. Training Chief Tyler Morris calls it the “best-case scenario,” stressing that quick, community-driven intervention could mean the difference between life and death.
