Supervised injection sites have reversed 9 overdoses since opening in NYC: Mayor de Blasio

NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- It's been less than a week since New York City opened its first supervised injection sites, and the mayor says many lives have already been saved.

Mayor Bill de Blasio says overdose prevention centers have already reversed 9 overdoses within just a few days.

"Just a week ago, these lives likely would have been lost. Compassion. Care. It takes real work to end this crisis, and our city is ready to lead the way," Mayor de Blasio's office said.
