OVERDOSE AID KITS
OVERDOSE AID KITS
Overdose Aid Kits (O.A.K.s) are metal boxes that make naloxone, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved opioid overdose-reversal medication, and other lifesaving resources more readily accessible in communities.
People who access O.A.K.s can take naloxone inside free of charge — no questions asked — to use in an emergency or to keep in their first-aid kit.
To date, over 3,000 O.A.K.s have been placed nationwide (see locations).
ABOUT THE KITS
O.A.K.s contain instructions on how to administer naloxone, three breathing masks, and information and resources for substance use treatment and recovery support. In most cases, we can help organizations identify a naloxone source, if needed. Whenever possible, our team trains staff members at each O.A.K site on the use of naloxone and can help to keep O.A.K.s stocked with supplies.
