Philadelphia Department of Public Health resource hubs are located in five neighborhoods throughout the city. Through a partnership with the Division of Substance Use Prevention and Harm Reduction, resource hubs offer the following free harm reduction supplies:
- Narcan (naloxone) – 1 box per person
- Fentanyl test strips – packs of 5
- Xylazine test strips – packs of 5
What are these materials?
Narcan (naloxone)
Narcan is the brand name for naloxone, a prescription medicine that reverses opioid overdoses. It temporarily blocks the effect of opioids and helps a person to start breathing again.
Fentanyl test strips
Fentanyl test strips are a tool to test drugs for the presence of fentanyl, a strong opioid.
Xylazine test strips
Xylazine test strips are a tool to test drugs for the presence of xylazine, an animal tranquilizer.
What are the requirements?
No information is required to obtain harm reduction supplies from a resource hub. Visitors interested in this service will be required to observe a short training on how to use the materials. This training lasts about five minutes.
