Webinar: Naloxone for Opioid Overdose
 

"Take-Home Naloxone for Opioid Overdose: Exploring the Legal, Policy and Practice Landscapes"
Thursday, October 18, 2012
1 p.m., ET

Fatal drug overdose has increased more than six-fold in the past three decades, and now claims the lives of more than 36,000 Americans every year. Many of these deaths are caused by opioids. Opioid overdose is typically reversible through the timely administration of the drug naloxone. In this webinar, presenters will provide an overview of the history of overdose education and take-home-naloxone distribution programs. The current state of the medical, legal and policy environments that affect these programs will be discussed as well as options for expanding overdose knowledge and take-home-naloxone access in the future.
