Using Pharmacies to Access Naloxone
A guide for community-based agencies
In Washington State, most retail chain pharmacies and many independent pharmacies have a Collaborative Drug Therapy Agreement (CDTA) with an authorized prescriber that permits the pharmacy to prescribe naloxone directly to individuals without seeing a medical provider. Medicaid, Medicaid- managed care organizations, and most private health insurance plans also cover naloxone with no or low co-pays. This system provides an easy, low-cost way for community-based agencies to acquire naloxone for their clients.
