Anne Arundel Health Department installs naloxone vending machines to combat opioid overdoses

Last week the Anne Arundel County Health Department finished installing vending machines throughout the county stocked with naloxone and other items to assist those experiencing opioid use disorder. The free vending machines are located in the Brooklyn Park Library, Deale Library, Eastport Community Center, Jennifer Road Detention Center, Severn Center and the Ordnance Road Correctional Center. The seventh is temporarily located at the county’s Health Services Building but will ultimately be placed in the Glen Burnie Health Center, which is under construction.
