Massachusetts Opiate Addiction Treatment

The state of Massachusetts has implemented a safe caller plan that allows those who see someone overdosing the ability to call 911 for help without worry of being criminally prosecuted for being involved in a crime as a result of the overdose. Though this has resulted in a slight decrease in the number of found overdose cases that resulted in death, there is still a very alarming, proportionately epidemic rate of people in the state of Massachusetts who are addicted to opiates and who need help.
