"Florida Paramedic Witnesses Surprising Success in Overdose Response"

In response to the opioid crisis, Florida paramedics like Fire Capt. Jesse Blaire are delivering addiction medication, such as buprenorphine, directly to patients' homes through the state-run Coordinated Opioid Recovery Network. This approach aims to provide comprehensive support, including medical treatment, appointments, and transportation, to individuals struggling with substance use disorder. By meeting patients where they are and offering personalized care, paramedics are making a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by addiction.
