Question by Liz: What exactly are the current barriers to naloxone access?
Law makers introduced a way to prevent drug overdoses in america, which is now the second leading cause of accidental deaths. One of those ways is to remove the barriers of Naloxone (Narcan) access, does anyone know what those barriers are?
In response to mark, I’m actually on the medication, well on suboxone which has naloxone in it. So do you think that’s the one and only barrier to getting it? And I know that you have to go through a program to get it in the first place, in Maine there’s a waiting list. Maybe this means making it more available and not needing a specialized doctor to prescribe it?
Best answer:
Answer by Mark R
One is that it can only be prescribed by a liscensed physician with a specialty in drug addiction treatment. “narcan” is what is given to stop an overdose of opiates since it it is a competitive inhibitor of opiate receptors.

Question by sweetgirl: What can be done for Alcoholic who has already been in rehab twice?
My friend has been to rehab twice for alcoholism. He didn’t stay sober for long and doesn’t think going again will help. He goes to AA meetings for few days but then gets back to drinking. It on and off mostly drinking and not going to meetings. Is there any hope for him or what can be done if rehab has failed for him. He is in so much pain and says he needs help so bad and he struggles everyday. I try to suggest things but he doesn’t do them. I know that I can’t help him but tell him that he needs to allow people to help him and support him and not refuse it. Any advise on this would be great.
So far good answers I have suggested alot of stuff like yoga, hobby, going to the gym after work instead of straight home to drink, counseling, spending time at bookstore since he likes to read. I know he can only help himself but its very sad to not be able to help someone that you love.

Thank you for that comment he is Catholic and preaching your own religion is not intended for this conversation
