evidence: HELP4WV partners with WV Drug Intervention Institute to distribute opioid overdose reversal drug BRIDGEPORT, W.Va (WDTV) - West Virginia’s addiction and mental health helpline, HELP4WV, is aiming to reduce the amount of overdose deaths in the state. They’re doing this by urging West Virginians to become "Naloxone Heroes" by obtaining free doses of the overdose reversal drug, naloxone. [...] This is an increasingly important campaign, as West Virginia experienced a 45% increase in the number of overdose deaths in 2020. An estimated 1,275 West Virginians passed away last year due to an overdose, at least some pf which may have been preventable with more widespread access to Naloxone.
