2024 Naloxone Grant

The Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) is offering a grant for local health departments (LHDs) to distribute opioid overdose reversal kits, including naloxone nasal spray. The grant aims to enhance the availability of naloxone in communities to counteract the effects of opioid overdoses effectively. IDOH, in partnership with Overdose Lifeline, will allocate the overdose reversal kits to LHDs, which are then responsible for community distribution. The program emphasizes the importance of proper training for lay responders in administering naloxone and providing addiction treatment and referral information. The grant underscores the need for compliance with reporting and distribution guidelines to continue receiving the kits.
