Naloxone, a medication designed to rapidly reverse an opioid overdose, is available for free to Kansas residents via new vending machines and by mail.  

DCCCA and Healthy Blue have installed several naloxone vending machines in cities across the state. In addition to visiting a nearby vending machine, individuals can order free Naloxone and fentanyl test strips online at www.dccca.org/naloxone-kit-request-form/

This project is funded by the Kansas Dept. of Aging and Disability Services (KDADS) through the State Opioid Response (SOR) grant initiative from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and Healthy Blue of Kansas.

In Wichita, DCCCA worked with Safe Streets Wichita on the project.
