To help curb opioid overdoses, Lifeline Connections is starting to distribute the antidote naloxone to clients of its sobering center.
The drug rehabilitation and mental health provider carries the injectable form of the drug, which is sold under the brand name Narcan; a kit includes two syringes, two doses of naloxone, a mouth protector, a pair of plastic gloves, an alcohol swab and instructions.
