Even if Vivatrol were free in the A Shot At Life program, Narcan seminars have a longer history of helping opioid users. Also, since heroin is addicting, it is easier for the dealers to overdose than to wait at least a week for an injection. Therefore, Narcan is a better solution than Vivatrol in that case. The people around the Long Island area who were close to dying due to overdose, attended Narcan seminars in Mineola and Holbrook.

However, Narcan does have side effects, which are low blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, and throwing up, but Vivatrol also has side effects which are pain-related symptoms, and nausua.
