Where is Narcan® available and how do I get trained?

Everyone should become familiar with the signs of an overdose, know how to administer Narcan®, and other actions to take if someone is overdosing. If you know someone who uses substances, struggles with substance use disorders, or is prescribed opioids for chronic pain you should be trained and have a Narcan® kit available. Patients can receive Narcan® prescriptions through their medical providers and the public can now purchase Narcan® from any pharmacy without a prescription.

The following local organizations have made maps of places people can access Narcan® for free:

• Sonoran Prevention Works: spwaz.org/arizonanaloxone/
• Substance Abuse Coalition Leaders of Arizona: naloxoneaz.com/
• Terros: https://www.terroshealth.org/narcan/

There are several resources where people can learn to spot overdoses and get trained to use Narcan® for free, including:
