Howard County Saves Lives with Naloxone Vending Machines | Baltimore News

Howard County’s bold overdose prevention push is paying off—fatal overdoses plummeted 62% in five years, from 26 in 2021 to just 10 in 2025. Now, they’re making life-saving naloxone even more accessible with two new 24/7 vending machines stocked with naloxone, fentanyl test strips, and condoms—all anonymously available. Designed to erase stigma, cost, and access barriers, the machines are placed where need is greatest and include QR codes linking to training and support. This proactive, harm-reduction strategy shows a deep commitment to saving lives and meeting people where they are.
