Request a Naloxone Kit
Naloxone saves lives
Thank you for your interest in carrying naloxone. By having naloxone available, you can help respond to an opioid overdose and potentially save a life.
We provide naloxone directly to individuals who may be at risk of experiencing or witnessing an opioid overdose. You do not need to use opioids yourself to benefit from having naloxone.
Who Can Request a Free Naloxone Kit from Georgia Overdose Prevention?
Georgia Overdose Prevention prioritizes free naloxone to Georgian residents who are most likely to experience or witness an overdose, including:
- People at risk: People who use opioids (prescription, elicit or borrowed) or use any elicit substances
- People in recovery
- Family members of someone who is at risk of overdose or in recovery
- Friends (including partners, roommates, co-workers) to someone at risk or in recovery
We especially prioritize people who cannot afford naloxone on their own.
Our goal is to make sure naloxone is in the hands of people who may need to use it to protect themselves, their loved ones, friends, or people in their community.
Not sure if you qualify?
That’s okay. If you are requesting naloxone because you are concerned about someone, tell us a little about your situation when you fill out the form. We will review your request and determine how we can best help.

- Healthcare providers or healthcare facilities
- EMS, fire departments or law enforcement agencies
- Schools or school systems
- Colleges and universities (we will supply students and staff with friends or family at risk)
