What It Maps

The plan maps reported naloxone access, access gaps, likely overdose-risk settings, support people or bystanders where applicable, and the intended response pathway.

What It Does Not Do

It does not generate emergency medical instructions, guarantee reversal, calculate overdose-risk scores, or invent local protocol content.

Follow-Up Use

Prior plans remain available so changes in naloxone access, risk settings, and support availability can be reviewed over time.

Is this a naloxone training module?

No. It is an overdose response readiness plan, not a training module or source of medical instructions.

Can the plan show unknown naloxone access?

Yes. Unknown access is shown as an unresolved gap rather than forced into a yes or no conclusion.

Does the tool require support people?

No. Support people or bystanders are considered where applicable, but the plan can reflect that no supports are identified.

What gets saved?

The fixed tool is saved into the practitioner's account. Fictional demo access details, risk settings, and support names are not saved as real client data.
