Google launched a naloxone and recovery facility locator to help combat the national opioid crisis. Last month, Google said it saw an all-time high in search interest for “rehab near me,” “addiction treatment near me,” and “how to help an addict.” The naloxone locator will let users quickly find where they can get the opioid overdose-reversal drug without a prescription at 20,000 locations throughout the U.S. The recovery-center tool shows users more than 33,000 locations that offer recovery support services, and includes meetings such as Narcotics Anonymous. “For many people, knowing how to use naloxone and keeping it within reach can save a life,” U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams said in a statement. “In most states, it is available without a prescription, and because of Google, it’s now even easier to find places to get it.”
