The CDC gives specific recommendations for prescribers regarding initiation of<unk> s, clinically appropriate<unk>  of<unk> s, and assessing possible risks associated with<unk>  therapy. Large retail pharmacy chains in the US are implementing protocols, guidelines, and initiatives to take back unused<unk> s, providing naloxone kits, and being vigilant for suspicious prescriptions. Insurance programs can help limit<unk> <unk>  by setting quantity limits on prescriptions or requiring prior authorizations for certain medications.<unk>  related deaths Naloxone is<unk> d for the emergency treatment of an overdose. It can be given by many routes (e.g., intramuscular, intravenous, subcutaneous, intranasal, and inhalation) and acts quickly by displacing<unk> s from<unk>  receptors and preventing activation of these receptors by<unk> s. Naloxone kits are recommended for laypersons who may witness an<unk>  overdose, for individuals with large prescriptions for<unk> s, those in substance<unk>  treatment programs, or who have been recently released from incarceration. Since this is a life-saving medication, many areas of the United States have implemented standing orders for law enforcement to carry and give naloxone as needed. In addition, naloxone could be<unk> d to challenge a person's<unk>  abstinence status prior to starting a medication such as naltrexone, which is<unk> d in the management of<unk>  addiction. Good Samaritan laws typically protect bystanders that administer naloxone. In the United States, at least 40 states have Good Samaritan laws to encourage bystanders to take action without fear of prosecution. As of 2019, 48 states allow for a pharmacist to have the authority to distribute naloxone without an individual prescription. Homicide, suicide, accidents and liver disease are also<unk>  related causes of death for those suffering from OUD. Many of these<unk>  related causes of death are unnoticed due to the often limited information provided on death certificates.
