Convenient, 24/7 access to harm reduction supplies

Harm Reduction and Needle Exchange Dispensing Machines to Support Your Harm Reduction Initiatives

Our Harm Reduction and Needle Exchange dispensing machines are designed to support community-based overdose prevention programs, syringe services programs, and other harm reduction initiatives. Organizations and communities across the United States are utilizing our harm reduction dispensing machines to enhance overdose and other types of prevention activities to help control the spread of infectious diseases and support distribution of opioid overdose reversal medication to individuals at risk of overdose.

Fear of judgment can be the most critical reason for unsafe substance use practices. Our Harm Reduction and Needle Exchange dispensing machines ensure discreet access to harm reduction supplies like disposable needles, HIV and COVID-19 test kits, toiletry kits, tourniquets, overdose prevention kits, alcohol swabs, feminine hygiene kits, and other supplies.

CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT

AIDS Care Ocean State

AIDS Care Ocean State is Rhode Island’s largest AIDS service agency and provides a wide range of programs including clinical, housing and prevention support. ACOS has been successful dispensing and tracking sterile syringes, needles, Naloxone and safe sex kits through their IDS equipment. These items are now easier to distribute and are more accessible for their clients.

“If people don’t want to come into the office or don’t feel like traveling 20-30 minutes to come to us, they are able to go the vending machines to get the things they need and not have that face to face contact,” said Ray Joseph, ACOS Prevention Supervisor. “I also love the transaction reports. I can export them on the software with a click of a button and it make my job so much easier.”

Impact Exchange

Impact Exchange, located in Nevada, makes it their mission to provide products, such as sterile syringes and injection-related products, to people across the state of Nevada to prevent HIV and Hepatitis. What originally started as one storefront location has turned into dispensing locations across the state.

Chelsi Cheatom, the Program Manager at Impact Exchange, said, “We wanted to make the dispensing of products easier and more accessible for people in our community. This was a brand new program and a way to expand services throughout the community, without the cost of adding employees and building expenses.”
