Delaware’s next tool in overdose battle: vending machines

Vending machines are nothing new in the United States. For as long as they’ve been around, they’ve been a quick fix to a small lunch or new pair of headphones before a long flight. 

But a new approach to vending machines is set to take foot in five spots across the First State. Delaware will hop on the nationwide trend to increase access to items like naloxone, an opiate overdose-reversing medication more commonly known as Narcan, through vending machines run by Brandywine Counseling & Community Services.
