Overdoses from heroin and other opiate use killed 544 people in Massachusetts in 2005. “We are aware sadly that despite our efforts, there are people who will not be ready for treatment, and we want to prevent them from dying from a fatal overdose before we have an opportunity to convince them to get into treatment,” said State Public Health Commissioner John Auerbach.
