Naloxone, also known as Narcan®, is used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.
 
The Department of Behavioral Health has partnered with the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington to make naloxone and educational materials in English and Spanish available at no cost to restaurants across the District of Columbia.
 
This service is ONLY available to establishments in the District of Columbia – we cannot mail to addresses outside of DC. Kits are shipped within 5-7 business days using discrete packaging. To request naloxone by mail, please fill out and submit the form by clicking below.
 
 

Did you know, Naloxone is available without a prescription at participating pharmacies in every Ward in DC. Find a pharmacy that distributes naloxone near you at https://dbh.dc.gov/page/where-can-i-get-naloxone-dc

You do not need medical knowledge or training to administer naloxone. Anyone can save a life. To learn when and how to administer naloxone, please view this short video.
