How Xylazine Impacts Our Communities

Life Support is back with an all new look! We missed all of you over our summer break, but we're back and ready to keep providing important information on topics across the healthcare continuum. This week Our Host Rachel Blanton sits with Jason Bienert to discuss what xylazine is and how it relates to opioid use, why it's important for communities to be aware of xylazine, and the different pathways of those intentionally using xylazine and unintentionally using xylazine.
