Volusia businesses adopt ONEbox kits to fight opioid overdoses



PORT ORANGE, Fla. — The Volusia Recovery Alliance is working to give what's called a ONEbox to local businesses in an attempt to get Narcan out to those who need it.

Organization leaders say the goal is to curb opioid overdoses, and help save lives.


At Giuseppe’s Steel City Pizza, managers are trained on the ONEbox. Inside is Narcan, and the restaurant managers are grateful they have this resource available to them.


“It’s a good aid," Julie Mialki, owner of Giuseppe’s Steel City Pizza, said. "We had a few customers, one as recently as about four months ago, that had an episode where 911 was called in and they came. We had to take care of that, where this could have probably helped.”
