“PUT IT EVERYWHERE,” IS THE OPINION OF JENNIFER WEISS-BURKE REGARDING NALOXONE, A TREATMENT FOR SOMEONE OVERDOSING ON OPIOIDS. WEISS-BURKE RUNS SERENITY MESA, A HOME FOR YOUTH DEALING WITH OPIOID ADDICTION. SHE SUPPORTS AN EFFORT TO PUT NALOXONE IN MORE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE BUILDINGS.
SHE SAYS THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE AVERAGE CITIZENS MIGHT ENCOUNTER SOMEONE OVERDOSING IN A RESTAURANT OR CITY BUILDING. CITY COUNCILORS DIANE GIBSON AND DAN LEWIS ARE PROPOSING LEGISLATION TO MAKE NALOXONE AVAILABLE IN CERTAIN CITY BUILDINGS.
