Hamilton County leaders respond to surgeon general's call for more narcan
A mother of a recovering addict said new initiatives in Hamilton County for people fighting addiction will not only save her son바카라 게임 웹사이트s life, but the lives of thousands of others.
The woman asked not to be identified for the safety of herself and her son.
바카라 게임 웹사이트Narcan is essential to giving that person another chance. Even if it바카라 게임 웹사이트s five chances, 10 chances, 15 chances,they have a chance to live,바카라 게임 웹사이트 the mother said.
Hamilton County has passed out 6,000 doses of Narcan since the first of the year. It바카라 게임 웹사이트s part of a program anchored by a donation from the drug manufacturer Adapharma.
바카라 게임 웹사이트The maker of Narcan has donated to us 25,000 doses of Narcan over the next two years, which if you look at the retail value that approaches $2 million, so it바카라 게임 웹사이트s a huge investment,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Health Commissioner Tim Ingram said.
County Commissioner Denise Driehaus said if the program saves one life, it바카라 게임 웹사이트s worth it.
바카라 게임 웹사이트It바카라 게임 웹사이트s happening in the jail, it바카라 게임 웹사이트s happening in the treatment centers, it바카라 게임 웹사이트s happening in the faith community. If we can expand that, we can save lives,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Driehaus said.
The U.S. Surgeon General said he wants more citizens carrying naloxone, the drug used to block or reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.
