Opioid Addiction and Treatment

Last week, the House Human Services Committee held a hearing on two bills that would ease the transition from overdose crisis to treatment, known as the warm handoff.  Thousands of Pennsylvanians have been dying each year from drug overdoses. Last year in the commonwealth, about 20,000 overdoses have been reversed with the use of naloxone by emergency responders. Deb Beck, President of the Drug and Alcohol Service Providers Organization of PA, who testified at that hearing will join Dauphin County Coroner Graham Hetrick, whose job it is to determine the cause of death of overdose victims.
