All police and fire departments in need of technical assistance on naloxone program implementation are encouraged to visit the First Responder Naloxone Technical Assistance Page.
The Bureau of Substance Addiction Services has awarded grants for eligible Police and Fire Departments to carry and administer naloxone. Eligibility is determined based on community statistics of fatal and non-fatal overdoses. Eligible departments are contacted by DPH directly.
