To fight the state's surging heroin epidemic, Gov. Chris Christie stresses the need for treatment, not just arrests.

Some police officers in New Jersey are now permitted to administer a drug that counteracts heroin overdoses.

Gov. Chris Christie has signed a waiver allowing first responders to carry and administer medication to treat drug overdose patients in emergency situations.

A drug that can reverse a heroin overdose is closer to being in the hands of Ocean County police officers, but law enforcement won't be the only ones with access to it.

Governments and clinics nationwide are striving to put a drug that can reverse an opiate overdose in the hands of more paramedics, police officers, even everyday Americans.
