The Naloxone Project

The Naloxone Project (TNP) is a clinician-led nonprofit that is rooted in compassionate and patient-centric care toward those living with addiction or at-risk of overdose. We seek to remove stigma and reimagine the response to the opioid crisis in the United States, starting with equitable access to the overdose-reversal medication, naloxone. Our organization is building an evidence-based and humane response to the opioid crisis through the distribution of naloxone in medical spaces. We strengthen medical and emergency response systems, use policy advocacy to change practice, and raise awareness in communities. Our organization works toward a future where no one dies from opioid overdose and where stigma surrounding addiction and naloxone is eliminated. We deploy a systems-change approach to the opioid crisis in the United States through our focus on healthcare, public policy, and the community. TNP works with hospitals, clinics, and first responders to identify those at-risk of overdose and hand naloxone directly to them. We work with policy makers to reduce regulatory and financial barriers to facilitate equitable access of naloxone. Our community outreach raises awareness and educates the public to build understanding and correct misconceptions.
