(Atlanta News First) \u2014 A new outdoor naloxone kiosk was installed in Little Five Points as Georgia advocates push to make the overdose-reversal drug easier to access at any hour and reduce barriers that can delay help.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The kiosk outside Little Five Points Pharmacy was stocked with Narcan and fentanyl test strips and dedicated to Zach Elliott, his mother said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cThis is my son, Zach Elliott. Zach died of an opiate overdose on May 1, 2011. He was 21,\u201d Robin Elliott said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Elliott signed her son\u2019s name and placed it inside the kiosk where anyone who opens this door will see it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cTime does not heal all wounds. It does soften the edges,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Georgia Overdose Prevention said the kiosk is part of a wider statewide effort to expand low-barrier access to naloxone, including a live <a href=\"https:\/\/georgiaoverdoseprevention.org\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/georgiaoverdoseprevention.org\/\">\u201cNaloxone Map\u201d<\/a> showing 121 access points across Georgia, with more than 40 offering 24-hour access.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cI\u2019m in this business and if it\u2019s hard for me to find, how hard would it be for someone in crisis to find?\u201d said Andy Gish, executive director of Georgia Overdose Prevention.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Ira Katz, the pharmacist at Little Five Points Pharmacy, said naloxone can buy time in an overdose and people should still call 911. He added that Georgians are protected by law when they call for help.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cI\u2019ve saved many lives administering the Narcan here. Hundreds of lives have been saved because of what we\u2019ve been doing over the years,\u201d Katz said. \u201cIt\u2019s an emotional thing. It really is. It\u2019s a special thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Georgia Overdose Prevention said it asks people to scan a QR code after administering naloxone, and the organization believes more than 15,000 people have been helped in the last 12 years \u2014 though that count reflects only cases reported back.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 WANF.
