County adopts Naloxone policy
The Butler County Commissioners adopted a naloxone policy for county staff.
---- Under the policy, all staff must complete training on how to administer naloxone nasally to people suffering from a drug overdose in county buildings.
---- Naloxone is a medication that reverses the effects of an overdose caused by an opioid drug such as prescription pain medicine or heroin.
---- Commissioner Kevin Boozel said Butler could not find another county with such a policy, so others would likely be basing theirs on this one.
---- The commissioners also approved a contract with Syntrio of San Francisco for an online training course. The rate would not exceed $3,000.
