Free Naloxone (Narcan) and Fentanyl Testing Strips

We offer naloxone (Narcan) and overdose response training free of charge to people in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. Making naloxone widely available in our communities saves lives by preventing opioid overdose deaths. We especially prioritize getting naloxone into the hands of people at risk of overdose and their families and friends. We also offer fentanyl test strips as an overdose prevention tool.

Making naloxone widely available in our communities saves lives by preventing opioid overdose deaths. In 2020, we distributed 2,516 doses of naloxone to our community, and received 114 reports of overdose reversals: instances where people used the naloxone they received to save a life.

To receive naloxone and/or fentanyl test strips, please use our booking link so we can get you the requested resources. We do not request any form of ID or health insurance, and we don’t require personal information from you. You can pick up naloxone and test strips from our office in Riverside. All options require a brief training.  You can also call or text our hotline at (951) 446-0983 to request free naloxone and/or fentanyl test strips.
