Innovative Efforts to Distribute Naloxone to Justice-Involved Populations
A recently emerging strategy for widespread distribution of naloxone to detainees released from jail facilities is through a vending machine. These machines can be customized to provide Naloxone and other supplies in a secure, organized, and stigma-free manner. This webinar highlights three examples of states that have facilitated efforts to distribute Naloxone through county jail facilities, describes how states can support and fund Naloxone distribution, and discusses barriers and facilitators toward distributing Naloxone through vending machines in jail facilities.
