    Where can I get Naloxone (commonly called “Narcan”) and other harm reduction resources?

    Naloxone, also called Narcan, is a medicine that can quickly stop an opioid overdose and save a life. Free naloxone is available at Bridge Clinics, DSAMH training events, community partner locations, harm reduction vending machines, and by mail. Visit Help Is Here for more information.

    Brandywine Counseling and Community Services and Impact Life offer syringe services programs in Delaware. These programs provide sterile supplies, naloxone, safe disposal, and information on preventing overdose and disease. They can also connect people with treatment, recovery services, health care, and other support. Contact each program for current locations, hours, and services.

    Fentanyl, xylazine, and medetomidine test strips are available from most naloxone partners across Delaware. These strips can help find harmful substances that may be mixed with drugs. Drug testing does not make drug use safe, but it can help people make safer choices and prevent overdoses. BCCS, Impact Life, and DSAMH PORT teams also offer lab testing for street drugs.

    Delaware has harm reduction vending machines that offer free supplies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Supplies may include naloxone, test strips, and other items that can help reduce the risk of overdose and other harms.
