Of the 40,000 people who inject drugs in Thailand, it is estimated that between 25-40 percent are HIV positive. In 2009, the CHAMPION-IDU project launched to address the high rate of HIV among injecting drug users. The Servicing Communities with Opioid Overdose Prevention (SCOOP) project was integrated into CHAMPION-IDU in 2013 as an additional opioid overdose prevention and management component. The program uses naloxone, an opioid antagonist that is very effective in reversing opioid drug overdoses. This report summarized the implementation of the SCOOP project and provides detailes information about overdose prevention and management with naloxone.
