NEXT Distro's website has outlined Ohio based resources related to Harm Reduction. With tools such as a Naloxone Finder, Mail based Narcan and Fentanyl testing strips, Syringe Exchange sites, Harm Reduction Program Map, as well as information on the legalities and protections within the Good Samaritan Law.
NEXT Distro also provides free Naloxone, anywhere in the US. You can go to their website and order it, get trained to use it, and they'll mail it to your door.
Harm Reduction Ohio distributes Naloxone to all 88 counties through several systems. The two largest of these systems is our Free Online Mail Order Program and our Lay Distribution Program.
Anyone who may be in a position to reverse an overdose. (EVERYONE) This includes family members, friends, co-workers, neighbor and service providers in contact with people who use drugs. People who use drugs other than cannabis should definitely carry naloxone. More than 1,000 Ohio residents died of meth-related overdoses in 2020 — and 80% of those fatalities involved fentanyl. The numbers are similar for cocaine.
Our Lay Distribution Program supplies volunteers with bulk orders of naloxone, we train them to be administer and facilitate trainings for the distribution of naloxone. We have other resources for Lay Distributors as well. If you would like to become a distributor for us please contact AmandaLynnatharmreductionohiodotorg
