Taunton is one of more than 30 cities and towns slated to receive between $10,000 and $50,000 of a $700,000 DPH grant, to equip and train emergency response personnel with the “opioid antagonist” that’s proven so vital in reversing the effects of a heroin overdose.

Sgt. Richard Carreiro, who helped write the grant for the city, said demand for the easy-to-use device has become keen: “It’s tough to get it right now,” he said.
