Each kit includes a single dose of naloxone, instructions for use and a referral to treatment for substance use disorder. The machine holds up to 300 naloxone kits and is free to access.
Machines are also located in public areas of the St. Joseph, Wayne, and Dubois County jails. The St. Joseph County Jailwas the first to receive the machine in December 2021.
Officials say a total of 19 vending machines will be placed across the state.
