Is your organization looking for naloxone for internal or institutional use as a preventative safety measure?
Keeping naloxone as part of a first aid kit is a simple safety measure. Restaurants, schools, and community-facing organizations are adding naloxone to their first aid kits in case of emergencies.
Purchase Over the Counter at Big Box Stores or Online
Most big-box stores like Target, Walgreens, CVS, and Walmart offer naloxone as an over-the-counter drug. You can even order it online.
From Local and State Organizations
Naloxone is available at no charge from local and state organizations. Distributors may give priority to organizations that work with people who use drugs and to the people around them (family members, loved ones).

Is your organization looking to distribute naloxone to individuals in your community?
If your organization or business is looking to distribute naloxone as part of community work, you can register with the Maine Naloxone Distribution Initiative (MNDI) to receive kits of naloxone at no charge.
With the support of the Maine Department of Health and Human Services, the MNDI has created a network of distributing organizations throughout the state. The MNDI’s tiered distribution network begins with the Tier 1 organizations: Bangor Public Health, MaineGeneral, Portland Public Health, and Maine Access Points. These Tier 1 organizations onboard local community redistributors, known as Tier 2s, to build a network of accessible naloxone distribution statewide.
Current Tier 2 organizations include clinical sites, emergency departments, public health organizations, harm reduction organizations, community organizations, syringe service programs, jails, and shelters.
