drug overdose is now the leading cause of death for americans under the age of 50. according to the cdc overdose deaths increased 21% last year largely due to the opioid crisis. greater increase than the previous four years

this deadly trend? joining us today to talk about this important intervention. one in particular we'll talk about, but this is amazing, it's very surprising, talk about this, and really what kind of numbers are we talking about, dr. weiner? >> so the estimate is that from the third or fourth quarter of 2015 through the fourth quarter 2016 roughly 2,000 died from accidental overdose. so in perspective that's more than the aides crisis in 1995 when dwit was at its peak. so this is really staggering. >> it is. so a lot of talk we've heard a lot of things about narcan, what these firefighters, emts have on their trucks and can give, and immediately helps the person back to reality. >> exactly. >> there is also something now thatan

>> right. so there is a medication called mall trex son very similar in the same family of narcan but lasts longer. narcan kicks in but wares off relatively quickly. now this new one takes a couple of hours to kick in, so if you take it in a pill form, or injection called via troll, that lasts one month. so what that means if you have this floating around in your system, even if you were to go and try to take something, try to get high, it just won't work. so it's impossible to overdose if you are on one of these medications. and other great thing is it takes away that psychological craving. it doesn't takeaway the physical cravings or physical withdrawal symptoms. >> but knowing the drugs aren't going to work. >> exactly. so i'll hear from patients i had the thought of wanting to go do something or score something, but then

so quickly able to manufacture onto another thought and not go there. >> is this stg a lot of doctors are using? i know you are sort of on the cutting edge all the time and telling us new things. and how do you get the medication if you know somebody who might need it? is it expensive? is it covered? >> i do think this is a medication that is known. it's actually in the case of via troll it's approved for helping with alcoholism. so also decreases alcohol cravings. i don't think there is a whole lot of people who are necessarily thinking about this right away when it comes to treating opioid abuse. i think they should be. as far as how much it costs and how you get it, you do want to bring this up, talk tour doct y doctor about it. from the cost perspective, via troll is very expensive medication if tu don't have insurance. but the manufacturer does provide a coupon if you have insurance to lower the cost. if you don't, it helps but it's still going to be very expensive. now trex son on the other hand

month even without insurance. the problem i've seen over the years with this is it relies on you taking it. if you don't want to take it because you realize i might be able to score something this weekend, it won't work. >> how do you go about treating someone with an opioid addiction? what is this your advice to them? >> if i have or family member had an opioid problem, what i would do is go to a drug treatment program for 30 days, takes away the craving, and helps with withdrawal, i would take that for 6 to 12 months, then i would go on the via troll in jerks and do that for a grood queer or two. >> thank you dr. weiner. thanks to have you. >> my pleasure. more help op the way to puerto rico by way of unusual source, pets in our area can lend paws to pets in need. after puerto rico

lap. so it is setting up an event on friday and saturday and again the next week. and we'll let folks know about this. but even vet care will be used for money raised? >> yeah, just like this one, they need care, so all of the funds help with that as well. >> so all of that starting on friday right here at the doing bakery in shirlington. this is going to be so much fun, because dog lovers love to get back that's what we are all about this holiday season. we are in shirlington with a bunch of lucky dogs to give back to puerto rico hurricane relief for four legged victims of the hurricane. i'm molette green news4. >> good story. thanks molette. so if this isn't no

that was pretty easy. the order was ready in one minute. so which retailer was fastest? target. all four orders were ready in average of 33 minutes. kohl was second. though east of picking up was the four cities put kohl slightly ahead. lows fifth. walmart last averaging six hours. the dallas order was placed just before 5:00 p.m. but wasn't ready until after 9:00 a.m. the next day. >> interesting. one nationwide survey finds half of all shoppers have tried it up 44% from last year. >> i have to say i did it because i was afraid the box was going to reveal what it was for my son. >> that's smart. >> andho

delivered. >> if you are not familiar with a store location, it may save you time instead of going up and down the aisles. >> that's true too. >> different strokes. >> sheena parveen, how are we looking outside? still warm? >> yes, still mild for today. so if you need to do shopping is this afternoon, don't worry about the rain or packing a warm coat this afternoon. but 65 will be our high temperature. tomorrow cold front. more clouds move in. then we'll see some very late day showers. do clean out for friday. then we drop into the low fifrts. this weekend 52 saturday afternoon. 57 by sunday. dry across the weekend. that's good for any errands you need to run. like if you have plans to pick up the christmas tree. big rain chance next week. >> thank you, sheena. that's it for news4 midday. thaungs f tha
