Through a standing order contained in Pennsylvania Act 19, individuals can legally and confidentially obtain Naloxone without a prescription at participating pharmacies throughout Pennsylvania. The Lackawanna Recovery Coalition also offers FREE Naloxone by mail. If you or a loved one may be at risk for opioid overdose, Naloxone can mean the difference between life and death.
While Naloxone is readily available to anyone who wants it, the PA Department of Health strongly urges professional training on proper administration of the medication. The LRC periodically provides training sessions regarding the use of Naloxone. There is a training video of one of those sessions on our Videos page under the Resources tab. Emergency personnel, including EMTs, police, firefighters, physicians and other health-care providers are the most highly trained and reliable sources for administering Naloxone for overdose reversal.
In an emergency situation, it is IMPERATIVE that an overdose be reported to 911 immediately, even if someone successfully administers Naloxone to a person experiencing opioid poisoning. Depending on the amount of opioids in the person’s system, they can experience a second overdose after the Naloxone wears off. Under the state’s Good Samaritan law, in most instances, a person reporting an overdose can remain with the victim until help arrives without fear of legal consequences.
Deterra® Bags
Deterra® Drug Deactivation System bags are an easy and convenient way to deactivate addictive drugs and render them inert before throwing them in the trash,. They also avoid polluting the environment by flushing medications down the toilet. Deterra® bags are available free of charge at many area pharmacies, as noted in the listings below, although some pharmacies require using the bags in conjunction with their own disposal boxes.
