(Missoula – Montana Free Press) Four new vending machines dispensing opioid-reversal medication will be available starting next month in Missoula’s hotspots for overdose calls
The United Way of Missoula County is facilitating the Dose of Hope project in partnership with the Missoula Drug Safety Coalition and Missoula Public Health in an effort to reduce the county’s opioid overdose deaths, which increased 83% from 2019 to 2022.
Once installed , a free outdoor vending machine at the Mountain Line bus station will be accessible 24/7. People will have access to indoor machines at the Missoula Food Bank, the Johnson Street shelter and Hope Rescue Mission’s drop-in center during business hours.
