Naloxone & NaloxBoxes


A free tool to stop opioid overdoses in our community. Download the Overdose Lifeline Quick Reference Guide tailored for Upstream Prevention!

What is a Naloxbox?

A Naloxbox holds free, readily available intranasal (sprayed through the nose) Naloxone. Naloxone is an emergency intervention tool, with the ability to reverse an opioid overdose. Each Naloxbox contains multiple, prepackaged single doses of naloxone. Anyone can open the Naloxbox, remove the naloxone, and either take with them as a harm reduction tool, or administer it immediately to a person who is overdosing or suspected of overdosing on opioids. The purchasing of Johnson County Naloxboxes was made possible through funding from the State Department of Health and the Duke Energy Foundation in 2021.

Each box also contains Fentanyl Test Strips (FTS), which allow individuals to test their drugs for traces of fentanyl. FTS has been shown to detect the presence of 10 different kinds of fentanyl within a supply. As a harm reduction tool, these strips give individuals the chance to reduce their risk of an overdose. Upstream receives the Naloxone and the FTS in these boxes from Overdose Lifeline through their many grants with the State of Indiana.
