Drug Rehab Pittsburgh Applauds Gov. Tom Wolfs Naloxone Initiative for PA

(MENAFNEditorial)

Governor Wolf of Pennsylvania has recently approved a Naloxone imitative for the entire state providing access to the overdose reversal medication in nasal spray kits for anyone who wants it- no questions asked. Those in search of the medication do not need a doctor’s prescription. The ordinance is as recent as April 6th. Penn Live quotes Gov. Wolf “I have directed Physical general Dr. Rachel Levine to write a ‘standing order’ for naloxone for the Commonwealth. It will act as a prescription that allows every Pennsylvania citizen to get naloxone.” First responders and denizens alike will have access to life saving overdose reversal medication uninhibited for the first time.

Pennsylvania is notorious for heralding a high rate of fatal overdose victims. Once victims of addiction overdose their central nervous system’s are depressed stopping their breathing as a result of their opiate receptors becoming clogged by an influx of an opiate based (or mixed) substance. Naloxone reverses this effect and allows victims of overdoses to breathe again. When victims of overdose are not hastily treated overdoses often ends in death or severe brain damage. Gov. Wolf has proposed the 2015-16 budget to reflect “funding for the Department of Human Services to provide naloxone kits to first responders local drug and alcohol programs and others across the state.”

Wolf is really charging forward when it comes to actively preventing avoidable deaths from overdoses and empowering the loved ones of addiction victims to act rather than looking on helplessly.”
