Illinois Overdose Prevention Programs: Contact Information

Illinois Overdose Prevention Providers

The providers below are funded by the Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery (IDHS/DBHR) to provide Overdose Education and Naloxone Distribution (OEND) services in Illinois. The OEND programs are registered with the IDHS/DBHR Drug Overdose Prevention Program, which gives them the ability to distribute the opioid overdose antidote naloxone. They can assist individuals and organizations with obtaining naloxone and support substance use treatment programs, human service agencies, and other institutions with establishing their own OEND services.

Please note: In addition, naloxone is now available at all Chicago Public Libraries.
