Objective
This Environmental Scan provides an overview of how naloxone is made available in Canadian jurisdictions, with a focus on take-home naloxone programs.
Findings/Key points
Unless otherwise referenced, the information is from the February 2017 survey of public drug plans and stakeholder feedback gathered between June and October of 2017. Given that the policy on the naloxone program is changing rapidly, some of the information in this report may already be out of date at the time of publication.
