Wyoming residents now have a free, easy-to-use tool to find Narcan, the life-saving overdose reversal drug, at locations near them across the state.
For anyone struggling with opioid addiction or living with someone who is, accessing free harm reduction resources just got significantly easier.
The Wyoming Department of Health launched the Community Naloxone Resource Map, an interactive online tool that shows where residents can pick up naloxone (commonly known as Narcan) at no cost.
The map currently lists 30 distribution sites across 22 of Wyoming’s 23 counties, all available without insurance or payment required.
What Is the Community Naloxone Resource Map
The map is a state-funded harm reduction initiative designed to put a life-saving tool in as many hands as possible. Users can hover over any map icon to see the site address and hours of operation.
Distribution locations listed on the map include public health offices, a volunteer fire department, and even a public library, reflecting how broadly Wyoming has worked to embed this resource into everyday community spaces.
According to the Wyoming Department of Health, appearing on the map is voluntary, meaning the tool does not capture every location where naloxone is available. The drug is also sold over the counter at pharmacies and major retailers, though at a cost.
How to Get Free Narcan Near You in Wyoming
Getting free Narcan through Wyoming’s program requires no insurance, no prescription, and no cost. Here’s how to access it:
- Visit the Community Naloxone Resource Map at the Wyoming Department of Health’s website to find a distribution site in your county.
- Contact your local public health office — many counties distribute Narcan directly to residents.
- If you represent a business or organization, the Wyoming Department of Health will provide free Narcan in bulk for on-site use or distribution to employees and clients.
“Having naloxone on hand can prevent an opioid overdose death,” said Rachel Nuss, health department community prevention unit manager. “We recommend that anyone keep this tool in their first aid kit.”
Who Can Access Free Narcan in Wyoming
This program is open to virtually anyone in Wyoming:
- Individual residents seeking personal or household supply
- Businesses wanting to keep it on hand for emergencies
- Nonprofits and community organizations
- Schools, religious organizations, and construction companies
- Law enforcement and emergency responders
No proof of insurance or income is required to access free Narcan through the state program, making it one of the most accessible free resources near you if you live in Wyoming.
Why This Resource Matters
Opioid-involved fatal overdoses in Wyoming climbed from 46 in 2019 to 84 in 2024, before falling to 54 in 2025. That recent decline is partly attributed to expanded access to naloxone and overdose response training.
Naloxone works by reversing the effects of an opioid overdose when administered as a nasal spray, restoring normal breathing and buying critical time until emergency responders arrive. It requires no advanced medical training to use.
Wyoming also passed a “good Samaritan” law in 2025, which provides legal protections for individuals who seek medical help for themselves or someone else experiencing a drug overdose, making Wyoming the last state in the country to enact such a law. This means anyone administering Narcan or calling 911 during an overdose has legal protection.
Additional Free Resources Available in Wyoming
Beyond free Narcan, the Wyoming Department of Health offers several other no-cost harm reduction tools:
- Free fentanyl test strips to check substances for the presence of fentanyl before use
- Opioid overdose response training for individuals and organizations
- Opioid substance use treatment resources including connections to low-cost rehab centers in Wyoming
Wyoming has also received $10.7 million in opioid lawsuit settlement funds as of January 2026, a portion of which is being used to expand outpatient treatment access and prevention programs statewide.
