Abstract

Naloxone Leave Behind (NLB) programs are an effective intervention Emergency Medical Services (EMS) can utilize to expand access to naloxone and reduce opioid overdose deaths in high-risk patients with opioid use disorder (OUD). Identification of “At-Risk” persons, patients who experience an opioid-related overdose or have indicators of OUD, is critical for successful program implementation. While many EMS systems have implemented NLB programs, few have reported on program success or areas for improvement.
