Naloxone Vending Machine
Making Lifesaving Tools Accessible: Preventing Overdoses, Saving Lives, and Empowering Our Community.
Our on-site naloxone vending machine is a vital step in addressing the opioid crisis, ensuring individuals have immediate access to a lifesaving tool when it matters most. Naloxone, commonly known as Narcan, is a safe and effective medication that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose in minutes, offering individuals a second chance at life and the opportunity to pursue recovery. By making naloxone available for free, UMADAOP Lucas County is breaking down barriers to critical resources, fostering a culture of compassion, and eliminating stigma associated with seeking help. This initiative empowers individuals to act decisively during emergencies, equipping them to save lives and reduce overdose fatalities. Beyond its immediate impact, the program underscores our commitment to building a safer, healthier, and more connected community where everyone has access to the tools they need to thrive.
