A life saving opportunity
New report demonstrates how deaths from drug overdoses can be prevented with antidote Naloxone
In the UK, 10 people die every day because of drug poisoning involving an opioid. These lives might be saved by naloxone.
Drug use is a complex issue. There are multi-faceted reasons why someone might be dependent on substances and require a lot of different interventions and long-term support. We work with them to get to the root causes behind their addiction and help them rebuild their life.
Our latest report shines a light on the vital drug intervention, naloxone. Naloxone, which is available as a nasal spray or injection, temporarily reverses an opioid overdose to allow enough time for emergency services to arrive.
As well as explaining what it is, how it can be administered and the impact it has had on lives across the UK, this report outlines a number of policy changes that we believe can help expand access to naloxone and thus save lives.
