Naloxone is a medicine that rapidly reverses an opioid overdose. It is an opioid antagonist. This means that it attaches to opioid receptors and reverses and blocks the effects of other opioids. Naloxone can quickly restore normal breathing to a person if their breathing has slowed or stopped because of an opioid overdose. 

However, naloxone has no effect on someone who does not have opioids in their system, and it is not a treatment for opioid use disorder. 

Naloxone is available without a prescription in all states and can be found at multiple NaloxBox locations throughout Indiana. NaloxBoxes are accessible 24 hours a day for naloxone pick up at an outside location with no personal interaction needed.
