ONE EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGY TO HELP ADDRESS OPIOID EMERGENCIES IS TARGETED BASED NALOXONE DISTRIBUTION

Why this strategy helps

By equipping individuals with naloxone and training to identify and respond to an overdose, the potential delay between the onset of an opioid overdose and the delivery of life-saving care can be reduced from hours to seconds.

This strategy is useful when:

  • Naloxone is provided to people at high risk of experiencing or witnessing overdose.
  • Harm Reduction agencies and trusted clinicians are properly educated and comfortable distributing naloxone to those using illicit opioids or receiving a high-risk opioid prescription.
