They will also receive a supply of 10 FTS upon enrollment and continued supply upon request throughout the 2-year follow up period. Each participant will also receive Opioid overdose education and a naloxone kit upon enrollment and re-supply of naloxone as needed throughout the 2-year follow up period.
Group II: Non-Intervention ArmActive Control1 Intervention
Each participant will receive Opioid overdose education and a naloxone kit upon enrollment and re-supply of naloxone as needed throughout the 2-year follow up period.
