The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the U.S. programs for drug users and their caregivers prescribing take-home doses of naloxone and training on its use have prevented 10,000 opioid overdose deaths.
The training will also include information about what opioids and opiates are, how they affect our bodies, who is at risk for overdose, what an opioid overdose looks like, and what the antidote to an opiate overdose is.
