Naloxone is a drug that can reverse an overdose in an emergency situation.
“The difficulty we've always had is getting naloxone in the right hands, at the right time,” Dr. Donald Stader, chair of the Colorado Naloxone Project and an emergency and addiction medicine physician at Swedish Medical Center, said.
A national study found that opioid overdose deaths decreased by 14 percent in states where naloxone laws were enacted, according to information cited by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. "Different hospitals in different states from across the country have reached out to us,” he said."Those states include Virginia, include Wisconsin, include Hawaii, include Florida.”
