UPPER MICHIGAN - Free naloxone, funded by opioid settlement dollars, is now available at Upper Peninsula Michigan Department of Health and Human Services offices.

Michigan will receive over $1.8 billion by 2040 from these settlements. Chief Medical Executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian noted that naloxone has contributed to a 35% decrease in overdose deaths since 2023. Residents can pick up free kits during business hours while supplies last; use is protected by the Good Samaritan Law. Since 2020, Michigan has distributed over 1.7 million kits and logged more than 34,000 reversals.
