Learn more about what naloxone is and the FDA-approved formulations available to give naloxone through this National Institute on Drug Abuse page.

How To Use

Use the ‘Get Naloxone’ tab to use the Naloxone Finder to learn you can get naloxone nearest you by typing in your zip code. Laws vary by state, so view the ‘Law Atlas Naloxone Overdose Prevention Laws Map’ to see if pharmacies in your state can give you take home Naloxone without a prescription.

Also on the ‘Get Naloxone’ tab is a link to instructions on how to administer naloxone.

To obtain details for the training program, fill out the Sign Up Form found under the ‘Get Training’ tab. You will be asked to identify yourself as a potential bystander (community member) or a First Responder (police, firefighter, EMT)

Who Should Use

Anyone who is interested in learning more about naloxone and how to obtain a training will find this website helpful, including parents of young adolescents (12-16); parents of older teens/young adults (17-25); parents of adult children and teachers or community support personnel.

Community Resource

GetNaloxoneNow.org was designed to provide a “home” for the Bystander and First Responder Training Modules, developed to address the opioid-associated overdose epidemic nationally.

The content of the training modules and the content found on the website were drawn from years of scholarship and advocacy on the part of hundreds of harm reductionists and their allies throughout the country (and the world) who are working to address the epidemic by replacing stigma with compassion, and laws, policies and programs that do not work to reduce overdose deaths with ones that do.
