As New Mexico continues the fight against opioid addiction, state health officials have been working hard to offer more resources and information to the public. Today a new resource is being made available – a map that shows every pharmacy in New Mexico where individuals can access the medication used to reverse the effects of opioid-related overdoses.

The map is simple and easy to use, and it’s integrated with Google Maps so you can get directions from your location to selected pharmacies.

Anyone can request naloxone from a local pharmacy without a prescription. Prescriptions are 100% covered for Medicaid clients; co-pays may exist for those with private insurance.

Find Naloxone near you at new our interactive map doseofreality.com/naloxone!
