New life-saving vending machines unveiled in Oklahoma

by The 100 Companies

The Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (ODMHSAS) has launched a Harm Reduction campaign to bring life-saving resources to Oklahomans, including nearly 300,000 who report a substance use disorder.

The campaign will deploy more than 40 eye-catching vending machines containing naloxone and fentanyl test strip kits in areas across the state in strategic zip codes with high overdose prevalence, making this initiative the largest-scale in the U.S.

The Harm Reduction campaign seeks to reduce accidental overdoses, the leading cause of death for people under 50 in the U.S., in Oklahoma. Visit okimready.org for resources.
