naloxone

Maybe as of four or three years ago, they would’ve been discharged with a box of Narcan or naloxone so that if they were exposed to another overdose, somebody could use that on them, or they could use it on a friend or a colleague.

Buprenorphine is most commonly administered in a name-brand drug called Suboxone, which also contains naloxone.

The second is naloxone, the antagonist, meaning that it stops the action of other opiates, like heroin.

This can include making anti-addiction drug buprenorphine available to them, as well as anti-overdose medication naloxone.
