Narcan vending machines revival in Oklahoma

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — The Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse (ODMHSAS) is redistributing the life-saving Narcan vending machines.

The vending machines were first implemented in May of 2023 to help curb overdose deaths due to Fentanyl.

Nearly a year ago, the state department decided to pull the plug on the vending machines across the state, citing budget concerns and operational challenges.
