Free Naloxone Vending Machine. Judgement Free. Zero Barrier Access.
Naloxone is a life-saving medication that rapidly reverses opioid overdoses by restoring normal breathing. It only works if opioids are present in the system and is safe to use, even if administered mistakenly.

N.I.C.E. stands for Naloxone In Case of Emergency.
The N.I.C.E. Project provides zero-barrier access to Narcan and harm reduction supplies through vending machines and outreach in high-need areas. By reducing stigma and offering anonymous support, we empower communities with tools and education to prevent opioid overdoses. Rooted in trust and lived experiences, N.I.C.E. is building reliable, life-saving services.
How we help
Naloxone Distribution
Our Narcan distribution hubs, which include vending machines and dispensers throughout Austin, provide free nasal naloxone/Narcan to anyone who desires to carry this life-saving medication. No questions asked.
Safer Use Supply Services
We have worked to reduce barriers to accessible and effective care for the Austin community through the distribution of naloxone for reducing risk of fatal overdose, as well as sterile supplies to reduce the transmission of HIV/HCV and promote safer routes of administration.
Community Engagement
We believe that we are safer when overdoses are reversed quickly and police are not involved in our neighborhoods. Through mutual aid and community support, we create strong bonds and save lives.
Vending Machine Locations
Our Narcan vending machines and dispensers were our first initiative, designed to ensure that naloxone is accessible to everyone in the community. They are regularly stocked, all you need is a desire to carry naloxone.
