Naloxone is a chemical which blocks the effects of opioids in the midst of the crisis surrounding them we find ourselves in, ideally stopping an overdose in its tracks.
It comes in needle and nasal form, and takes less than an hour to be trained on.
It can save lives and be found at any local Pharmacy, you are entitled to two a day and can receive training on spot.
Police are trained in this, in most cases, across ON. But this isn鈥檛 always the case, and not every officer will carry them.
