Take Home Naloxone: Creating Access & Saving Lives: May 29

The goal of this webinar is to provide hospitals with information surrounding the Illinois Drug Overdose Prevention Program (DOPP), a resource designed by the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) to provide free take home naloxone kits to at-risk individuals. Naloxone is a safe and effective medication used to reverse opioid overdoses and save lives. Providing naloxone kits directly to patients with opioid use disorder who are at risk of a fatal overdose is a crucial step in harm reduction and preventing overdose deaths.  

This informational session will outline recent updates to the DOPP that have resulted in a streamlined and simplified hospital enrollment, ordering and reporting process. Guidance for how hospitals can successfully implement a take home naloxone program within their emergency departments and inpatient units will also be provided.
