How does Narcan actually work, what does it do to a person who had overdosed on opioids? Also after being given a dose of Narcan, why do the EMTs always take the person to the ER?

Narcan will send a person into severe withdrawal symptoms. Those symptoms typically aren’t deadly to healthy people but they can be. I’m not a doctor but I assume that’s the reason they go to the ER. Just Incase this person could die from withdrawal symptoms
