Naloxone distribution & training on administration is vital to reducing overdose deaths.  Family and friends are most likely to be nearby during an overdose.  By providing access to naloxone and training on signs of an overdose and how to administer, capacity to reverse an overdose is increased.  

Behavioral health providers, community based organizations, faith-based organizations, human service providers

Minimizing barriers to naloxone, training on signs of an overdose and how to administer naloxone, and building trusting relationships with community members increases the ability to reverse an overdose.  

There is no data to be collected at this time. As part of action plans, community partners intend to report this data for FY2023-24.
