(USGovernment-News.Com, November 26, 2015 ) Baltimore, MD -- According to The Washington Post, 80% of all overdose victims in Baltimore have been revived by the drug community itself- as opposed to police officers and first responders, who account for the remaining 20% of rescues. The success is attributed to Narcan and Naloxone, opiate antagonists which reduce the nervous system from depression and respiratory failure. Despite the success rate of revivals, the innumerable cases of overdoses underscore an underlying problem of rife untreated substance use disorders. Drug Rehab Baltimore asserts it is not enough to administer Narcan and similar medications without rehabilitation- of which may be compulsory.
An associate of the drug and alcohol detox and rehabilitation center comments, "Narcan is having hundreds of lives, we're seeing that- but when are we going to mobilize our communities to actually fix the problem? Narcan is a wonderful band aid, we don't lose our loved ones to overdoses, but we are still losing them to their physical and psychological diseases- which require treatment to overcome. It's not enough to revive someone and expect them to change their ways- that is almost unheard of. That's a fairy tale. We must live in our reality and construct plans of revitalization.
"Instead of simply sending recovering overdose victims to the hospital- send them to mandatory rehabilitation. It's true, some aren't ready for rehab in the beginning, but in time many take to being clean after the initial withdrawal process. It is almost immoral to allow one to continue down the path of addiction when we have the power to construct resources to better address the issue."
