AbstractThe United States is currently experiencing an opioid epidemic, as drug overdose deaths have become a leading cause of death. According to the Centers for Disease Control, in 2017, opioids were responsible for 47,000 deaths, which involved both illicit and prescription opioids. A multifaceted public health approach that utilizes public health authorities, health care providers, local hospitals, and affected communities is required to effectively reduce opioid-related morbidity and mortality. The authors of this paper developed an inpatient program on the dual-diagnosis unit at Gracie Square Psychiatric Hospital in New York to target the opioid crisis. The purpose of this program was to train patients and their families on how to respond to an opioid overdose and administer naloxone spray. The paper describes the implementation of this program.
