The problem is that unlike here in Germany, where the state is required to be able to send help in 10-15 minutes at your house (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilfsfrist), there is no such requirement in the US. Overdoses are time critical, especially as not every overdosed guy gets noticed in time.
