State health officials are offering free online training and free naloxone to emergency medical agencies to prevent the death of an opioid user they just saved from overdosing.
The program lets emergency crews leave pre-packaged naloxone with the patient or their loved one for future use.
State health officials say more than five people die in Arizona every day from opioid overdoses.
