Ocean County's First Harm Reduction Vending Machine | Newark News

Description

Ocean County just rolled out its first 24/7 harm-reduction vending machine — a lifesaving, no-questions-asked hub stocked with naloxone, clean syringes, safer smoking kits, and drug test strips. Partnered by VNA Health Group and Suburban Health Clinic, it’s designed for anonymous access, helping those hesitant to seek help. In its first week, hundreds of syringes and dozens of kits were distributed — proof of urgent need. With similar machines already thriving in Asbury Park, this initiative aims to save lives and improve health outcomes by putting critical tools right where people need them, anytime.
