PRO-ACT
Bucks County High Schools Stocking Naloxone

The war against heroin has enlisted new recruits. Three Bucks County school districts added naloxone (also known by the band-name Narcan) to their high school emergency response plans in September.

Quakertown, Palisades, and Council Rock school districts have stocked naloxone "just in case."  Under a 2014 law signed by former Gov. Tom Corbett, first responders and family members of at-risk drug users are permitted to obtain and administer it.

Diane Rosati, Executive Director of the Bucks County Drug and Alcohol Commission, said the enabling concern is a "myth." She says opiate addictions, both heroin and prescription pills, are an epidemic. 

"After folks are saved through naloxone, it's extremely important to offer treatment opportunities to those folks. Anybody who experiences an overdose is certainly at a high risk for another potentially fatal overdose," Rosati said, "so we want to be able to offer services to that person and support to them as well. We'll be working on how we can reach out to those folks to stop the cycle."


To learn more about The Council's Prevention Programs, please visit our website here.  

The Council of Southeast Pennsylvania, Inc. has been spearheading an initiative focused on overdose prevention and education.

Nationwide, among people 25 to 64 years old, drug overdose caused more deaths than motor vehicle traffic crashes. This number has continually increased over the years and Bucks County is not immune to the nationwide trend. Bucks County and The Council have responded with the creation of The Bucks County Overdose Prevention and Education Collaborative(BCOPE).  

To learn more about BCOPE or to get involved in the initiative, visit our website.
