Participants receive training on:
Recognizing the signs & symptoms of overdose
Calling emergency medical services
Administering intranasal Naloxone
Monitoring person until help arrives

Emergency Access Naloxone Cabinet
It is a box that hangs on the wall to store Naloxone/Narcan, the life-saving opioid overdose reversal drug, much like you see AED machines in public places. It allows the public easy access to Narcan during an overdose emergency. Please contact us at
The Good Samaritan Law and Emergency Access Naloxone Cabinets
Ohio law contains a “Good Samaritan” clause that protects someone who gives naloxone to an overdosing person and then calls 9-1-1, even if the caller was using drugs. This same law applies to locations that host NaloxBoxes (Section 2925.61: https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-2925.61).
