PHILADELPHIA HAS THE HIGHEST OVERDOSE DEATH RATE OF ANY MAJOR U.S. CITY.

Our goal is simple: to increase naloxone carrying among Philadelphians.

By carrying and using naloxone, you can be part of our community’s collective action to halt overdose deaths in our city.

Commit to carry naloxone

It is understandable to be overwhelmed by the overdose crisis.

We want to empower individuals to be part of the solution.

We also share the ways YOU can get involved. By carrying naloxone, you too can be part of our city’s collective response to the epidemic. Here you can learn how to use naloxone, where to get naloxone in Philadelphia, and how others just like you have saved lives.

Here, we share stories about the ways in which Philadelphians are already doing their part to change and save lives.
