 Boston Public Health Commission Regulation: Authorizing an Opioid
Overdose Prevention and Reversal Pilot Program
The Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) seeks to establish a
pilot program to train active opiate drug users in the techniques of
overdose prevention through the utilization of nasal Naloxone, an
opiate antagonist that quickly reverses the respiratory depression
that accompanies a heroin or synthetic opiate related overdose and
can lead to death. The pilot program will be based at BPHC's needle
exchange program in Boston which has been in existence since 1994.
