Aug. 30, 2024 – Governor Kathy Hochul today announced that New York State has surpassed the milestone of distributing 20 million fentanyl and xylazine test strips statewide. These efforts and other initiatives are making an impact to help prevent drug overdoses, save lives, and address the opioid and overdose crisis.
New York State has the largest response to opioid overdoses in the nation. Last year, the Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS) developed the first in the nation online ordering portal where naloxone kits and test strips can be ordered by any New York State resident who requests them. New York State has now distributed more than 11.6 million fentanyl test strips and more than 8.6 million xylazine test strips, as well as nearly 700,000 naloxone kits through both OASAS and State DOH.
