New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is spearheading an effort to equip more law enforcement officers with the heroin antidote Narcan. It takes just three minutes to revive a person overdosing on heroin or prescription pain medication by pushing the drug out of their system.
Mary Callahan, senior manager, director of Odyssey House Outpatient Services, was featured in a News 12 segment about the initiative. “By doing this, they’re saving an immeasurable amount of people from overdose,” she said.
