Get Naloxone Now

Naloxone (Narcan) is an easy-to-use medication that can reverse opioid overdoses. It's life-saving, not addictive, and available at no cost to anyone in Michigan. Naloxone is easy to use and anyone can become an overdose first responder. 30 Second Naloxone Training Video (CDC)

Individuals are also protected from civil liability in administering naloxone and from some criminal charges when seeking emergency medical services in a suspected overdose situation, as outlined in Michigan's Good Samaritan Law.

• Access naloxone from a private, no-cost vending machine.
• Access naloxone through a local syringe service program.

• Order naloxone to distribute in my community. MDHHS is dedicated to reducing the number of accidental overdose deaths due to opioids.  To that end, jails, law enforcement, and community organizations may request naloxone nasal spray using the form below.  Each form will be reviewed and approved and subsequently submitted for order fulfillment.

In 2016, Michigan passed a naloxone standing order law. This allows a pharmacist to dispense naloxone without an individual prescription and without identifying a particular patient.  With this, the “prescription” comes from the standing doctor’s order from the State. Although individual doctor prescriptions still work for this, as an alternative, family, friends, or others can now obtain naloxone to use in an emergency without an individual prescription. Administrative rules have been written to implement the standing order.
