Every 45 minutes, a child is poisoned by opioids as epidemic grows

In 2016, the FDA approved a buprenorphine treatment that patients could implant under their skin, which meted out small doses of the drug over a period of several months. Such a product could solve the problem of storing pills away from children, but it may take time for it to catch on with doctors and patients. Its cost also may be higher for patients.

"It does look like injecting under the skin is going to be a good way to go," in the future, though, Casavant said.
