So when a person has an OD narcan is applied to kick off the opioids binding to the receptors. But narcan only last temporarily. So when narcan is applied and patient is taken to the hospital, what do they do next to treat the over dosage before narcan wears off? Do they just keep giving you narcan?

Narcan would only be given in multiple doses to revive the person who OD. Once revived and in the hospital, they may give a dose of methadone if they start to withdraw but there really wouldn’t be a need for narcan again.
