Previously, naloxone, which is sometimes referred to by the brand name Narcan, was only made available to people trained in opioid overdose response or certified under the Maryland Overdose Response Program.
“By allowing even more people access to naloxone, we’re helping to save lives,” said Clay Stamp, executive director of the Opioid Operational Command Center, in a news release.
“We must remember though, that ultimately, those suffering from the disease of addiction or substance use disorder must be linked to additional treatment to aid in their recovery,” Stamp said.

It's not a disease, Clay, it's a bad decision. Make it mandatory to be enrolled in an addiction program and have perfect attendance to get ONE dose of this.
ReplyDeleteSaving lives is always a good thing, this is a good step. I do have to say if you have someone in your family, as I have I did not have the patience for a siblings abuse, and very abusive lifestyle and behavior. I had to do for myself and my family to say NO MORE when you are truly ready come to me you are welcome,but I told her I will not be cussed and used as a stop over to see what is in the medicine cabinet, or what drugs I could give her when I had just been discharged from surgery & the hospital, no thought for my welfare "just give me". Tough love is hard remain true to what the right thing is, but leave the door open for a desire of REAL CHANGE. You cannot make them change only they can and GOD. God Bless and sincere good luck.
ReplyDeletebut you still can't get it until you can prove you have been trained in its administration.

hogwash. it was a bad decision for you not to pay attention in classes and get educated. maybe it's not too late for you if you really apply yourself.
One more way to enable repeated use and overdoses.

so you would rather have them die?
Yes I would rather them die. They are a drain on resources and will continue to be until they are dead.
DeleteThey are putting the needle in their own arm. Not my problem.
Delete718 you'll have to talk to good old capitalist drug companies for that! Although some are making low cost epipens, bless them.
ReplyDeleteEveryone remember that 720 is perfect and they never need any help if you see them on the side of the road. They just made a bad decision.

I don't even know where to start with this guy. His ignorance just blows me away. It's a good thing most reasonable people do not think like this monk. Please forgive him, he knows not what he says, or anything else.
Joe, you recently asked if Wi. county was a banana republic, I think this guy just answered your question in the affirmative.
Do you need a hug? Do you need to go to your safe place? Stop coddling these miscreants and call it what it is.
