YouTube Video: Coming back from the dead with Nalxone
There is a movement toward greater access to naloxone, which blocks and reverses the effects of opiate drugs. Anyone can purchase NARCAN® Nasal Spray directly from a pharmacist without a doctor's prescription. All major pharmacy chains (such as CVS, Walgreen's, and RiteAid) stock it. Advocates of naloxone say a saved life will always have better recovery prospects than no life at all. Others worry the drug only encourages riskier drug abuse and perpetuates the addiction cycle. What's your opinion?
