 [TITLE: Saving people from opioid overdoses with Naloxone]

[Interview with health centre program director Jason Altenberg. B-roll is shown of people obtaining Naloxone from a community health centre.]

JASZON ALTENBERG >> Naloxone is a life-saving drug that reverses the effects of an opioid overdose. It's a fast-acting drug that can be administered either through an injection or through a simple nasal spray. It's available free and over the counter to anybody who needs it and it's incredibly effective.

 In two months we've had dozens of clients come back to say, "I saved my friend. They're alive because you gave me this." "I need one more kit."

This is a drug that works, it saves lives.
