What We Do
Naloxone Texas is a statewide initiative that aims to end the state’s overdose epidemic through medication distribution, public awareness, and workforce empowerment. Its primary initiatives include:
- Free Naloxone Distribution: In collaboration with state funders, we ship free, life-saving Naloxone throughout Texas, with emphasis on areas designated as high-risk for opioid overdose based on county-level data.
- Training in Evidence-Based Strategies: We provide virtual, on-demand training to educate the workforce and general public about the Texas opioid crisis as well as evidence-based strategies for overdose reversal.
This project is supported by Texas Targeted Opioid Response, a public health initiative operated by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission through federal funding from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration grant award number H79TI085747.
