Syringe Service Providers

Local Directories

Unused supplies, safer-use materials, naloxone, and safe disposal — available locally with no judgment, no lectures, and no questions you don’t want to answer. This page lists where, when, and what to expect. That’s it. You’re making a practical health decision, and these services exist to make it easier.

Risk Reduction

Talk to Hope Council

The short version

No judgment, genuinely

No judgment. No lectures. Just the supplies you need to stay healthier — the whole transaction is you asking and receiving.

Two local doors

The Hope Council front desk (18+, business hours) and Vivent Health’s Lifepoint program — plus the 24/7 vending machine for many other supplies.

More than syringes

Naloxone, fentanyl and xylazine test strips, safe disposal, and other risk-reduction supplies come through the same doors.

Around the clock

The Public Health Vending Machine outside Hope Council covers many supply needs 24/7, no interaction required.

Used supplies, handled safely

Safe disposal protects you, your household, and whoever handles the trash. Used syringes don’t belong in regular garbage or medication drop boxes — Hope Council & Vivent Health accept used syringes for disposal. Syringes must be dropped off in a hard-sided container, such as a milk jug, an empty detergent bottle, or a personal sharps container. Sharps containers are available from Hope Council at no cost. There is no requirement to exchange or return used supplies to access new equipment.

Also free, also no strings

Naloxone and the training

If opioids are anywhere in the picture, naloxone belongs in yours — free, with optional ten-minute training.

How to Use Naloxone

Test strips

Fentanyl and xylazine show up where they’re not expected. Test first — strips are free at both doors.

When you want more than supplies

Peer support from people with lived experience, treatment navigation, recovery options — whenever you want them, never required.
