Naloxone Distribution 

JCHD provides free naloxone distribution at our office during business hours with a brief training to learn how to administer the opioid reversal medication. There are also several NaloxBox locations around our county where the public can get naloxone at any time anonymously. These programs are intended to provide naloxone to anyone who may need it personally or knows someone who would benefit from having it in order to make efforts to decrease the overdose rates in our county. Please call our Health Educator at 317-346-4369 for any questions.
