    Organizations Can Request No-Cost Intranasal Naloxone through NFRP

    County/Regional CCEs serve as the primary point of contact for first responders within their communities to request and receive naloxone at no cost. There are currently 48 County/Regional CCEs covering all 67 counties across the Commonwealth. Contact information for these CCEs is available in the interactive map on this webpage. 

    In addition to these designated County/Regional CCEs,  PCCD has also designated a state-level allocation of naloxone to supplement county/regional distribution efforts. The Statewide NFRP Portal provides naloxone to eligible organizations looking to enhance their community-based distribution efforts, with a focus on reaching individuals with the greatest risk. These include, but are not limited to, the following populations: 

    • Individuals who are currently using substances; 
    • Individuals using Syringe Service Programs (SSPs) and harm reduction services;
    • Justice-involved individuals with SUD/OUD, including individuals leaving state prisons and county jails and people who are under supervision (e.g., probation, parole); 
    • Individuals engaged in and/or leaving treatment or withdrawal management and those who are in recovery;
    • Individuals who have experienced a nonfatal overdose; and
    • Individuals seeking mail-to-home naloxone. 
    • Requests for naloxone through the NFRP's Statewide Naloxone Allocation must be made using a Statewide Naloxone Request Form. Applications from eligible organizations will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and naloxone will be distributed based on a formula adopted by the Pennsylvania Opioid Command Center's Statewide Naloxone Distribution Strategy Workgroup.

    NOTE: First responders/organizations in need of naloxone should first reach out to their relevant County/Regional CCE directly prior to contacting PCCD and/or making a request for naloxone through PCCD's Statewide Naloxone Request Form.
