The aims of this project are to 1) expand distribution of Narcan rescue medication to those at high risk for opioid overdose as well as those who know of those at risk for opioid overdose and 2) facilitate transition of ED patients presenting to the ED with opioid use disorder to medication assisted treatment by inducting patients on buprenorphine and transferring them to a local substance abuse treatment clinic for longer-term care.
