Project looks at raising awareness for naloxone which can temporarily reverse effects of overdose
About 70 per cent of people in prison have addiction issues, said the IPS.
Naloxone banners have been displayed at the visitors entrance to each prison in the hope of raising awareness by directing visitors to demonstration videos onThe videos are intended to help friends and family members to know how to recognise and respond to an overdose, including how to administer naloxone while awaiting medical care to arrive.
“The HSE very much welcomes the Irish Prison Service commencement of the provision of intranasal naloxone on release to people with a history of opioid use which may prevent fatalities in the event of an overdose,” Prof Keenan said. One video recreates an overdose scenario in prison, where a prison recognises the signs of an overdose, alerting prison staff to save their friend’s life, including administering naloxone.
