The U.S. Surgeon General has recommended that all individuals who may come into contact with opioid abusers carry and know how to use naloxone, an opioid overdose reversal drug that saves lives (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2018). Because community supervision agencies regularly interact with opioid abusers, it is important they consider equipping staff with naloxone. This paper outlines why agencies should consider adding naloxone to their toolkit and provides guidance for successful implementation.
About NIC SearchThe National Institute of Corrections is targeted toward an adult audience, though it is available for any internet user. NIC does not provide search result filtering, so terms that may trigger some individuals may appear in search results. You can manually remove key words you don't want to appear in your results by using the minus sign modifier before a word, for example: -handcuffs Using the "-" dash or minus character immediately before a word in the search box will remove any search result containing that term. You may use as many search terms and removed words as you would like in the search box. |
