Colorado 's Opioid Antagonist Bulk Purchase Fund was created in 2019 to provide free naloxone to organizations like the Harm Reduction Action Center .
The fund's annual budget grew from just over $300,000 in fiscal year 2019 to more than $8.5 million in fiscal 2022 .
One of the fund’s major money sources, the American Rescue Plan passed by Congress in response to the covid-19 pandemic, is set to expire next year .
In Washington and Kentucky , as part of the states’ settlements with Teva Pharmaceuticals , tens of thousands of free naloxone kits will be available to residents.
Each state uses its opioid settlement funds differently.
Colorado ’s fund has distributed more than half a million doses of the drug to hundreds of organizations and schools.
