A Health Locker dispensing machine can be configured to provide the harm reduction supplies your program needs. 24 hours a day, seven days a week, without staff involvement. What goes in the machine is built around your clients, your program, and your state's requirements.
Every machine is configured to your program. The items listed on this page represent what Health Locker machines can dispense. Your actual configuration will be determined at consultation, based on your client group, your supply agreements, and what is permissible in your state.
The people your program exists to help are often the least likely to access what they need through a fixed-site service during business hours. They work nights, they avoid face-to-face contact, they use alone. The gap between your hours and their need is real.
Putting the right supplies in a Health Locker machine closes that gap. A naloxone spray available at midnight. A sterile kit available on a Sunday. A sharps container available after your doors close. These are not conveniences. They are the difference between a preventable death and one that happens because the supplies were not there.
Every item the machine dispenses is tracked in real time. Every transaction is logged. Your program stays accountable while your clients stay safe.
Nasal spray Narcan is effective, simple to administer, and requires no prescription for NSP clients. Getting it into more hands saves lives.

Pre-packed safer smoking, safer injection, and safer sex kits make it easier for clients to access what they need in a single, stigma-free transaction.

No two programs are identical. A metropolitan NSP servicing high-volume injecting drug use has different needs from a regional community health service managing naloxone access. That is why every Health Locker machine is configured specifically for the organisation installing it.
