The community use of naloxone is a great way to improve the safety of people that use drugs. EMS has a unique opportunity to interact with people and risk and distribute Overdose Response Kits which can save lives. This program will train EMS providers to participate in a regionally endorsed Leave Behind Naloxone program.

It is important to keep in mind that the distribution of the Overdose Response Kit is not the solution to the overdose crisis, but it serves as a mechanism to begin the conversation of access to care, treatment, and recovery.
