• Cost: Free, with no dues or membership fees.

The Overdose Picture in Bronx

The Bronx’s overdose death rate fell in 2024, though by less than the other boroughs, and it remains the highest in the city. A few neighborhoods carry a disproportionate share of that burden.

• 60.1 overdose deaths per 100,000 Bronx residents in 2024, down from 79.3 in 2023, a decline of about 24%, the smallest improvement of the five boroughs.
• Rates were highest in a handful of Bronx neighborhoods in 2024, including Hunts Point-Mott Haven (107.8), Highbridge-Morrisania (90.4), and Crotona-Tremont (87.3) per 100,000 residents, though all three improved from the year before

Given the borough’s higher burden, the resources below are worth keeping handy. See the New York City overview for the citywide and national picture.

Beyond Meetings: Treatment Near Bronx

Treatment options in the Bronx range from outpatient counseling to detox and residential care. Medications for opioid use disorder, including methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone, are evidence-based and work alongside NA rather than against it.

Search FindTreatment.gov by ZIP code for a licensed provider near you, or call the SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357, free and confidential, 24/7.

Overdose Prevention and Naloxone

Naloxone (Narcan) reverses an opioid overdose. Every pharmacy in New York State can dispense it under a statewide standing order, and it’s also sold over the counter. Given the Bronx’s higher overdose rate, having naloxone on hand is especially worthwhile here.

• Free naloxone kits
  Participating Bronx pharmacies and NYC Health’s Opioid Overdose Prevention Programs, plus 24/7 public health vending machines.
• Insurance copay help
  Up to $40 through the state’s Naloxone Co-payment Assistance Program.

New York’s 911 Good Samaritan Law protects both the caller and the person who overdosed from certain drug possession charges. Find a pickup location through the NYC Health naloxone finder.

Emergency and Crisis Contacts

If you or someone near you is in immediate danger, call 911.

• 911 for a medical emergency, including a suspected overdose
• 988 or 1-888-692-9355 (NYC 988) for free, confidential crisis counseling, 24/7
• 1-800-662-4357 (SAMHSA National Helpline) for treatment referrals, 24/7
• 718-962-6244 for the Eastern New York Region NA helpline serving the Bronx

From the Grand Concourse to the edges of the borough, these numbers reach the same help. You don’t need a plan, just a phone.
