title: A True Antidote.
abstract: A new law allows physicians to prescribe an opioid antagonist to a person in danger of an opioid-related overdose or to anyone who can help the opioid user. The language essentially allows physicians to empower the user, the user's family and friends, or someone else to administer the naloxone where an overdose occurs.
