24/7 naloxone boxes available in several Boone County locations

(COLUMBIA, MO) -

Several 24/7 naloxone distribution boxes are now available at various Boone County locations. The boxes resemble a newspaper stand but without the need to pay. Each box contains free naloxone for anyone to take and use in the event of an overdose. Boxes will be refilled on a weekly or as-needed basis.

The location of each box is as follows:

  • Boone County Fire Protection District Station 2 - 104 Central St, Rocheport, MO
  • Boone County Fire Protection District Station 4 - 685 E. Sexton St, Harrisburg, MO
  • Boone County Fire Protection District Station 6 - 201 E. Wall St, Sturgeon, MO
  • Boone County Fire Protection District Station 15 - 5881 S. Tom Bass Rd, Columbia, MO

To learn how to use naloxone, community members can attend one of the monthly SAVE-A-LIFE Naloxone Education and Distribution events. The next SAVE-A-LIFE will be held Tuesday, May 26 from 12-1 p.m. at The Blue Note, 17 N 9th St, Columbia.

This project is funded by contract 5H79TI086392-03 between Columbia/Boone County Public Health and Human Services and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
