📌 Harm Reduction/Risk Mitigation Vending Machines available state-wide. Just input your ZIP code to get what you need.

Here's information about our Risk Mitigation Vending Machines

Risk Mitigation is a set of strategies, ideas, and techniques for reducing the negative effects of drug use and preventing an overdose before someone gets help. These machines are located across Delaware to make a variety of harm reduction tools accessible to the public.

The tools are free and easy to use, and they could save a life.

Let’s talk about Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT). Because the stigma is loud. But the facts matter.

MAT combines FDA-approved medication with counseling and behavioral support to treat substance use disorder. It’s prescribed, monitored & evidence-based. And for many people in Delaware, it’s lifesaving.

If you have questions about MAT or recovery options, we’re here.
