Naloxone Program

Worried that someone you know may overdose on an opioid? We are now a provider of Project DAWN Naloxone, an opioid overdose reversal medication. Kits are available at no cost.

You can obtain a Naloxone kit for FREE through one of these three options:

1. Call (740) 203-2077 to schedule a training.

2. Email kkuhlman@delawarehealth.org to schedule a session.

3. Click HERE to receive an individual kit in the mail. (This will take you to a SurveyMonkey form to complete. The anonymous survey will take no more than 5-7 minutes, with an educational video that is 16 minutes in length – the video is recommended if you have not been trained on how to use Naloxone.)

According to the Ohio Department of Health, fentanyl was involved in 80% of Ohio unintentional drug overdose deaths in 2021. Nearly everyone who uses street drugs, whether regularly or recreationally, are at risk of fentanyl exposure and unintentional overdose. Fentanyl is nearly impossible to detect because you won’t be able to see it, smell it, or taste it. The only way to know if there is fentanyl present is to test drugs with fentanyl test strips.

The Health District provides fentanyl test strips free of cost, walk-ins welcome during normal business hours.

To receive fentanyl test strips in the mail, go to nextdistro.org/oh-teststrips.
