Narcan and Harm Reduction Kits
At the ACE Foundation of Florida, we’re committed to saving lives by providing free Narcan (naloxone) kits to help combat the opioid crisis. Our mission is to ensure immediate, accessible care in the face of overdose emergencies—because lifesaving solutions should be in everyone’s hands when seconds matter.

Effortless Access for Everyone

No Prescription Required: Understanding the need for quick and barrier-free access, we ensure that our Narcan kits are available without any need for a prescription.

No ID Necessary: We believe in the fundamental right to health and safety. Therefore, obtaining a Narcan kit from us requires no identification, ensuring privacy and ease for everyone.

A Community-Centric Approach

Empowering Individuals and Communities: Inspired by the Naloxone Distribution Project in California and similar initiatives nationwide, our approach is centered on empowering not just individuals at risk but also their families, friends, and community members.

Collaborative Efforts: In line with the best practices from programs like NEXT Distro, we work in collaboration with a range of community and harm reduction organizations to ensure wide-reaching impact and support.

Making a Difference, One Kit at a Time

Beyond Distribution: Following the model of the Illinois Drug Overdose Prevention Program (DOPP), we also focus on educating the community about overdose prevention and response, providing more than just the physical tools to combat opioid overdose.

Tailored to Local Needs: Like NEXT Distro’s state-specific approach, we cater to the unique needs of Florida’s diverse communities, ensuring relevant and effective responses to the opioid crisis in our state.

This includes offering support for safer drug use and overdose prevention.

Supporting Minds, Strengthening Recovery

Collaborative Mental Health Services

In partnership with local mental health providers, we offer a wide range of accessible and inclusive services—including counseling, therapy, and support groups—to ensure personalized care for individuals with diverse needs. Grounded in evidence-based practices, our approach supports those with co-occurring mental health disorders before, during, and after treatment, promoting continuity of care throughout the recovery journey.

The Role of Mental Health in Recovery

Understanding that substance use disorders often coexist with mental health conditions, the ACE Foundation of Florida offers integrated treatment for co-occurring disorders, as recommended by leading experts. Our approach is personalized and empathetic, recognizing that recovery is a deeply individual journey with no one-size-fits-all solution.

Empowering Individuals on Their Recovery Journey

Guided by lived experience, our peer specialists—individuals who have personally navigated recovery—play a vital role in offering relatable guidance and support throughout the journey. At the ACE Foundation of Florida, we believe in the power of community to foster healing, creating a supportive environment where individuals can access not only professional help but also empathy, understanding, and a true sense of belonging.

Training & Education

Knowledge is power. We offer free training sessions to individuals, families, and organizations, educating them about addiction, overdose prevention, and how to administer Narcan. Together, we can reduce the stigma around addiction and create a well-informed, supportive community.

This ensures the training is relevant and engaging, covering various topics from overdose prevention to drug-related stigma.

Comprehensive Topic Range: Offer a diverse range of topics in training, akin to Overdose Lifeline’s programs. Cover the basics of addiction and harm reduction, as well as specific subjects like Medication-Assisted Treatment and the role of ACEs in Substance Use Disorder.

Offer online self-paced courses, virtual and in-person training, and continuing education credits, allowing individuals from different backgrounds and with varying schedules to participate.
