Quick Start Guide
Quick Start Guide
A Naloxbox, or an overdose emergency kit, is a durable container offering easy access to lifesaving medication. Individuals, businesses, and community organizations can place these types of containers on their property to ensure that anyone in the neighborhood can help reverse an opioid overdose. Use the easy instructions below to set up a naloxbox in your neighborhood.
Obtain Naloxbox and Supplies
Purchase a Naloxbox and naloxone online. The Naloxone Distribution Project offers free naloxone and fentanyl test strips to non-profits. Host sites are encouraged to stock several boxes of naloxone and harm-reduction supplies, such as CPR face shields and fentanyl test strips, in their naloxboxes at all times.
Identify the Location for Naloxbox
Select an easily accessible location. Recommended sites include high-traffic areas and ADA-compliant heights. Indoor and outdoor places, such as parks, restrooms, community centers, libraries, hallways, churches, and bus shelters, are ideal for quick naloxone access.
Promote Naloxbox
Share the location of your naloxbox via social media, newsletters, emails, websites, and at community events. For greater visibility, consider using signage, stickers, and branding. Email OD Free Marin at info@odfreemarin.org to add your naloxbox location to our interactive naloxone map.
