Overdose Prevention & Support

Prevention through access to life-saving supplies and resources

Barry-Eaton District Health Department (BEDHD) is releasing a Request for Proposal (RFP) under the CDC-funded Overdose Data to Action (OD2A): LOCAL grant. Organizations in Barry and Eaton Counties interested in enhancing linkage to care and strengthening clinical best practices are invited to apply.

Overdose Prevention

Overdose prevention is an evidence-based, community-driven approach that equips people who use drugs with life-saving tools, information, and support to reduce risk and prevent fatal overdoses. Rooted in public health and guided by lived experience, overdose prevention meets people where they are—especially in underserved communities—and supports individuals and families in making their own informed choices about health, safety, and well-being.

In Michigan, overdose prevention is also supported by Michigan’s Good Samaritan Law, which protects people from certain drug possession charges when they seek medical help during an overdose. This law ensures that saving lives comes first.

Local Access Points for Overdose Prevention Supplies

Vending machines in the area make it easier for people to stay safe and get help when needed. They are required to provide Narcan/Naloxone, a medication that can reverse an overdose, and also offer other helpful supplies, such as fentanyl and xylazine drug testing strips, medication disposal bags, first aid kits and CPR face shields, safe sex kits (Wear One), and menstrual products.
