offered people on the street a consultation with an on call doctor who could prescribe medication and offer treatment to try to get them off fentanyl and other opioids in the morning. >> can we help you pick up the medicines, or do you want us to try and get them delivered to you if we can? >> whatever you can do. yeah, yeah. that'd be great. >> in one month, we have over 300 prescriptions that we were able to prescribe and nine people to rehab a month later. >> the number of accidental overdoses dropped and continued to remain lower so far this year, from january to september 2024, the number of deaths related to an accidental overdose was 504, whereas last year, during the same period the number reached 631. >> we have also learned that people do want treatment and do want help, and what we have learned from our evening programs is that people are coming into care and stabilizin. >> but there are still empty beds, meaning people are not

showing up at detox or residential treatment programs. that shows taking that first step for treatment is difficult. ask anyone on the street. i'm sorry i couldn't help but notice this. what is that? >> a syringe. >> a syringe with fentanyl. yeah. we had a candid conversation with abby moh, who told us she's glad the price of fentanyl has gone up significantly in recent months. that way, she's been able to cut back. >> i do like a $5 thing i have every day. yeah, but it's not enough. oh, yeah. five, ten bucks is enough. that's why i like it. it's easier on your body because you don't have to do so much at the moment. >> she's not ready to seek treatment. how many more are in need of that? i mean, do you have a number? you must have a number of people who are addicted on our streets in fentanyl. >> so we don't have an exact number, a ballpark. we think

there are probably several thousand through billboards, the health department is now also counting on others who have been in the trenches to say that recovery is possible. >> people like siobhan allen, once addicted to heroin who never had a mentor to help during her recovery. she now wants to be that person. >> anyone that's struggling with with addiction, you're you tend to like tend to isolate. you have shame and you don't really want to. you don't want to let people know what's going on. eventually, you know, you can't hide it any longer. >> could i just say, as a reporter who has been on the streets for a long time, you do get tired of seeing this crisis here on the streets. >> it is. it is. it is a crisis that for those of us who have been working in this field, as i have for more than 20 years, the scale and seriousness that fentanyl has brought to our city

and our country really has challenged us to do more and to do better and to rethink how we do things. and i think holding the hope and the possibility that this can be different and will be different is what keeps us going. >> and that campaign wants to direct people to their 24 over seven call center. you call that number and it gives you the option to connect with a medical professional like the ones we saw on that night team. and it's working that night team. so they've expanded the hours. >> yeah, it's a tough, tough work. >> yeah i call it hard and fast. fast to get addicted and hard to get off. yeah, thanks. >> and a struggle too for so many. appreciate it leanne. well, still to come here bouncing back from decision fatigue and keeping track of your luggage. we got that. and more coming up

will soon have a new tool to track down your lost luggage. airlines like united and delta are teaming up with apple to help track luggage with your airtags. the find my app now allows users to generate a shared item location link that you can share with american or airline customer service. that is, and then you can use that to

track your lost item. what do you guys think? is this a problem for you? like, do you always wish you had better tracking? i think we've all lost luggage. kristen. i mean, at some point or another where you're like, why hasn't it arrived? where is it? i think it'd be helpful. yeah. >> for sure. i haven't checked luggage in many years now. i'm going to have to with the baby, of course. a lot more stuff to pack, so i think this will be really useful for that. but when i did lose luggage a long time ago, it was like, where is it? when am i going to get it? how much should i buy? should i you know, get enough clothes for the next 2 or 3 days? it's just it would save all of that. when will i get it? is it across the country or is it close by type of thing. so i think anytime we can track our stuff, it's a good thing. >> i am a find my evangelist. if you don't have these or you don't have to do the apple name brand, get another one. put them in your luggage. when you do check your bag. a lot of us check bags like you, karina, we

can't all fit into that small suitcase. >> i never check a bag. i don't care if it's international. >> for international. >> for two weeks in that little carry on. >> yeah. i'm with you, kristen. yeah. >> that's good. i got to see a packing tutorial now. right, julia. we all need to teach you how to pack. clearly so. but julian and karina have to travel across the country to go see their families, too. >> exactly. and you want to know where the luggage is? so this has saved me. no travel for the relatives? >> no, no. >> you ship the gifts, you just order it to their house and say, don't open the box. >> that is the way. yeah, okay. >> all right. well, do you have decision fatigue? this is so real. from the moment we wake up, we're always making decisions right up to 35,000 decisions each and every day. many of them could be minor, such as, what do you want to have for breakfast? but it adds up over the course of the day, and it can really drain your energy and create stress. for some people, too. experts say to beat decision fatigue, create a daily routine. limit the options, and prioritize or delegate. i love that part. delegate some of those other decisions. what do we think? i

feel like we're in a very high stress environment and we're always making micro decisions every day. sandia, do you have decision fatigue? how do you navigate it? if you do? >> i don't have decision fatigue, but sometimes, julian, it is overwhelming when you're trying to make decisions with regards to your personal life, your career choices, your kids. for so many different things. >> yeah, i definitely have it. by the time i get home. i just want to shut down, right? like i don't want to talk. i don't want to even pick. like, what am i going to watch on tv? and i certainly don't want to pick what or figure out what we're having for dinner. and i'm not a planner, so i can't like, plan a week ahead of time or a couple days ahead of time. what we're having for dinner. so every day it's like, what are we going to eat? >> or, you know, can i share a tip? karina. yes. so on the weekends you just disconnect and you go with the flow. and that's kind of how you recharge, is what i find works for me. you all need to hire me as your executive assistant. i can make decisions all day, all day, all

night. kristen's going to get texts from me like, kristen, what do i eat for dinner tonight? what do i bake? oh, no. what have i done? yeah, exactly. all right, look, you've seen those self-service checkout just about everywhere. well, now they're coming to the library starting december first, the concord library will be offering a self-service option on sundays, when it's normally closed, library patrons will be able to sign up in advance, and security guards will make sure only those patrons can enter. interesting. do you guys fully understand this? because i thought it was at first referring to checking out the books, right? which i've seen at other local libraries as well. self-service. but this is something different. >> i think it's both right. i think it's also if you need help finding something, refresh your knowledge of the dewey decimal system, right? there might not be someone there to help you find that book, but anything that i think is allowing folks to access knowledge right is a great idea. i hope they also allow folks to maybe use the

computers too. on sundays. we know, you know, especially some students don't always have access to high speed internet. and being able to go to the library and do that homework is really important. >> i got to tell you that library is the best. it's got everything. karina with the baby too, like you know, they have like little toddler storytime. we go on tuesdays. yeah. no, i think it's great. the libraries have wonderful things. they have great activity centers for, you know, even teens and kids of all ages. and it's just fun to go roam around, look at new books and take one. you know, to read every couple of weeks for free. that's the great thing. yeah, that is true. i mean, and you know what? you can still enjoy the library, like julian said, but some people do not have access to the computers and stuff, so it's kind of a helpful place to go. >> let's do it. democratize information. we'd love to see it. okay, so it's officially official. three toys have been inducted into the toy hall of fame today. drumroll, transformers, my little pony, and the card game phase ten. all were inducted in the 2024 hall of fame. my little pony had been
