Pennsylvania Governor Wolf Administration’s Opioid Command Center announced the availability of the Statewide Naloxone Allocation Request Portal. The portal allows eligible organizations serving high-risk populations the ability to request additional naloxone nasal spray. This portal will supplement the Central Coordinating Entities’ (CCEs) efforts through the Naloxone for First Responders Program (NFRP) with a dedicated supply of naloxone focused on supporting distribution efforts to reach high-risk and high-need populations. Eligible organizations must utilize naloxone provided through this portal to support one or more of the following priority populations:
- Individuals using Syringe Service Programs (SSPs) and harm reduction services
- Individuals leaving state prisons and county jails
- Individuals engaged in and/or leaving treatment or detox and those who are in recovery
- Individuals who have experienced a nonfatal overdose
- Other high-risk populations identified by the organization (i.e., pregnant/post-partum women with a history of opioid use disorder, individuals experiencing homelessness, etc.)
