(Portland, OR) -- The Oregon Health Authority is launching a six-month pilot program to get people addicted to opioids medication treatment sooner. Emergency responders in Marion and Multnomah counties will be trained to administer the drugs that help people stop using opioids. They'll give them the medication in the field, before they're taken to an emergency department. The Oregon Pubic Health Institute and the Bridge Center will receive 300-thousand dollars to conduct the pilot program.
