Where to find free narcan?

[DeviantDroid]

I have been looking for free narcan. The harm reduction center in my city has closed down, and I am not going to the mobile services. Any ideas? Not sure this is the right place for this, sorry if not. I am in California.

Since you're in Cali, I'm gonna move this over to the Americas Drug Discussion forum, they'll be able to help you out in there. Good on you for reaching out. All the best!

Ask a Firehouse / fire station. I bet they have a lot and will give you some. Just walk right up and ask for some

FOr various reasons I do not want to go to official people - cops, fire etc, to get the narcan. Are there any by mail services? I have been looking, and the harm reduction center has just been close down. I can't find a single place.

Thank you so very much. I really appreciate it. That is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you...really grateful.

I can't believe they shut down the fucking harm reduction center. Are they trying to kill people! Thank you for finding an alternative.

Thank you.

Thank you.

No problem man, hope you are able to get the Narcan. There are quite a few services in California so if you are able to drive out to the next closest one you should be okay.

I don't drive, but at least there is a possibility. I had a very rough day yesterday...

I think some pharmacies will give it out as well

The pharmacy wants money. It is too expensive.

If anyone is reading this, carry narcan on you. I really needed it yesterday and it didn't work out so well for the person who needed narcan. I did my best, but without it, it was impossible. I feel like absolute shit. Im clean from opiates currently, but fuck...just fuck fuck fuck it.

It isn’t your fault man.
You didn’t put the opioids in that person’s system or know that you were going to walk by somebody who was overdosing.
It obviously would have been ideal if you happened to have Narcan, but it isn’t your job to walk around saving everybody who overdoses with a narcan kit.
All you can do now is get some narcan for the future.

Do any public buildings like this give out test strips? I'm in California as well

fwiw i was asked if i wanted narcan after being mentally assessed yeaterday. i asked why as i dont use opioids anymore.
"in case you run into someone that may need it".
yeah... i carry it in my backpack now.
it was free.
