Since being installed in December, the machine has been used 24 times, Middlesex Sheriff Peter J. Koutoujian said Thursday.
The naloxone being distributed is paid for through a Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Abuse Site-based Program grant and the machine is leased through the same grant funding.
The machine was installed on December 9, and a sheriff’s office spokesperson said it’s already been used 24 times.
