The Foxborough woman could tell that her son had been using again. On that November day in 2011, he was hyper and overly affectionate. “Dear mother,” he called her.
She knew that he was at risk of an overdose. The weeks the 21-year-old had gone without heroin, as the family worked to get him into a treatment program, weakened his tolerance for the drug. When she awoke that night to screams, she was ready, as ready as she could be.

Is this stocked at the fire stations?
On one hand, seems like a great safety valve.
On the other, its really only going to help keep the hardcore addicts from dying early.
Methadone has done wonders...(unless, of course, you leave anywhere near a methadone clinic and have to live thru the abuse heaped on decent folks by the junkies)
"Decent folks" --- Ha-ha-ha! Now THAT is funny.
