Naloxone reverses an opioid overdose and is available without a prescription at New Jersey pharmacies under the state's standing order; since 2023, the Naloxone365 program has allowed anyone 14 or older to obtain naloxone anonymously and free of charge at participating pharmacies. Calling 911 remains necessary even after naloxone is given, because the effects can wear off before the opioid does. New Jersey's Overdose Prevention Act provides certain protections for people who call for help during an overdose.
After an emergency
Hospital emergency departments can connect people to withdrawal management or start medication treatment in some cases. If you want to review longer-term options once the immediate danger has passed, our directory and town guides may help.
