NJ residents who need substance abuse treatment
Legislation to aid the estimated 94,000 New Jersey residents in need of substance abuse treatment was signed into law Friday.
The new laws focus on making medicines that help treat the effects of opioids more accessible, including opioid antidotes such as naloxone, which can help save the life of someone experiencing an overdose, and buprenorphine, which is used to help treat opioid use disorder.
“As a doctor, I know just how important it is to prepare for and respond to medical emergencies patients may encounter,” said Assemblyman Herb Conaway (D-Burlington). “With thousands of lives lost to overdoses each year, we need a system in place to help residents struggling with substance use disorders who may be at risk for overdoses.”
