Illinois Saves Overdose


How to Enroll as a Drug Overdose Prevention Program (DOPP)

Naloxone is a safe and effective opioid overdose reversal medication that saves lives. The Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Substance Use Prevention and Recovery (IDHS/SUPR) aims to reduce the number of opioid overdoses through the expansion of community-based Overdose Education and Naloxone Distribution (OEND) services. IDHS/SUPR manages the Drug Overdose Prevention Program (DOPP), as legislated in the Substance Use Disorder Act, which allows organizations to order free Narcan (a form of naloxone) through our Access Narcan program to distribute within their communities. These programs are essential to ending the overdose crisis in Illinois by making sure that anybody who may witness an opioid overdose is equipped with naloxone and the knowledge they need to save a life.

Visit the IDHS/SUPR Drug Overdose Prevention Program website for more information and to enroll.

Illinois Saves OD is funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration through the Opioid State Targeted Response grant administered by the Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Substance Use Prevention and Recovery.
