GRAND RAPIDS TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Legislation under consideration in the state Senate would give school districts the option of adding naloxone, an antidote to opioid overdoses better known as Narcan, to the list of drugs trained district personnel could administer. There no debating the seriousness of the problem of addiction to opioids, from prescription painkillers to street drugs like heroin. Heroin overdoses have nearly quadrupled in Michigan since 1999.
Narcan — which is now carried by many EMS, fire and police agencies — has been credited with saving lives in the event of an opioid overdose.'
