As the opioid epidemic evolves in Wisconsin, and in an effort to save lives and reduce harm, organizations across the HOPE Consortium service area have partnered with Wisconsin Voices for Recovery to install additional Nalox-ZONE boxes in central and northern Wisconsin.
HOPE Consortium is a collaborative rural model for substance use disorder treatment and recovery support.
The goal of the Nalox-ZONE Program is to increase access to naloxone, also known as Narcan®, by distributing as many Nalox-ZONE boxes as possible across Wisconsin, supporting both safety and harm reduction efforts to save lives and prevent fatalities due to opioid overdoses. These boxes are currently provided free of charge through Wisconsin Voices for Recovery in Marshfield, Stevens Point, Neillsville, Black River Falls, Wisconsin Rapids, Eagle River, Minocqua, Rhinelander and Ladysmith.
