Soul Surgery Integrates Zimhi™ Naloxone Autoinjector in Treatment Programs

Dr. Ravi Chandiramani

August 22, 2022
News

Soul Surgery is proud to be the first drug and alcohol treatment center in Arizona to fully integrate the Zimhi™ Naloxone autoinjector into its treatment programs for patients with a primary opioid use disorder.

Soul Surgery is also among the top 5 behavioral health operators nationally to adopt Zimhi™.

Here are some facts about the opioid crisis and how Zimhi™ can be the game changer for opioid-related deaths:

  • From April 2020 to April 2021, 100,306 deaths were due to drug overdoses. 76,062 deaths were due to opioid overdose.
  • 85% of all opioid-related deaths from April 2020 to April 2021 were due to synthetic opioids.
  • The number of seized counterfeit pills containing fentanyl during an 8-week period in 2021 was enough to kill more than 700,000 people potentially.
  • Estimates show that 50% of opioid overdose reversals require more than one dose of naloxone.
  • Overdoses due to fentanyl, carfentanil, and other synthetic opioids may benefit from higher initial doses of naloxone.
  • Studies have demonstrated that Zimhi™ acts faster, is more potent, and lasts longer than 2 mg of intramuscular naloxone.

The average arrival of an emergency responder in cases of opioid overdose is 7 minutes, and by then, brain cells are already dying, and brain damage has already set in.

When mere minutes are a matter of life or death, a higher initial dose of naloxone – as found in the Zimhi™ autoinjector – could make all the difference in the world.

Soul Surgery plans to provide the Zimhi™ autoinjector to every patient with a primary opioid use disorder at the time of their discharge from the treatment program.

Please contact us today if you have any questions about our addiction recovery programs and treatments.

I loved my time at Soul Surgery!

I was in the program for about 5 months and my life completely changed for the better. I battled my addiction, and learned new coping skills and ways to handle tough situations and make the right decision. From the start everyone was super helpful and caring. Staff knows you by name and no one ever judges you either which is nice. I’m grateful for the time I was there and would highly recommend to anyone! Thanks Soul Surgery!
