A new harm reduction vending machine at the Addison Fire Department offers free 24/7 access to lifesaving materials like Narcan, fentanyl test strips, and xylazine test strips. This initiative by Steuben County Public Health aims to combat drug overdose deaths and enhance community safety.
Public Health Director Darlene Smith emphasized the importance of accessible, no-cost resources to support residents struggling with substance use.
The vending machine reflects the county’s commitment to addressing the opioid crisis with practical solutions.
