Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a release Thursday that more than 500 lives have been saved as part of the statewide naloxone distribution program.
The program is funded through opioid settlement agreements with major pharmaceutical distributors and manufacturers.
The program began back in 2024. During the first two years, Teva Pharmaceuticals shipped 55,442 units (110,484 doses) of nalopxone to 13 Arizona counties and eight community-based organizations, including Andre House, Central Arizona Shelter Services, Sonoran Prevention Works, Arizona Poison Control, and the Arizona High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area.
