First responders in Miami County have access to more of the overdose-reversing antidote naloxone than ever before after officials received 50 dosages last week from the state’s emergency stash of the drug. The Indiana State Department of Health last year set up emergency caches of naloxone kits at five sites around the state in the event first responders ran out of the drug and were unable to obtain it through normal means, according to ISDH Director of Public Affairs Jennifer O'Malley. The Peru Fire Department requested the kits last Tuesday to replenish the county’s stockpile. Now, the fire department has distributed the kits to the Miami County Sheriff’s Department and volunteer fire departments stationed around the county to fight the spike in opioid overdoses.
