Who is NEXTDistro?

An online and mail-based harm reduction service designed to reduce opioid overdose death, prevent injection-related disease transmission, and improve the lives of people who use drugs.

NEXT Harm Reduction aka NEXT Distro was inspired by the work of Tracey Helton, author of The Big Fix and outspoken advocate for proactive drug user health resources and expanded naloxone distribution. During the 2016 National Harm Reduction Conference, Tracey gave a plenary talk called Radical Harm Reduction: Our Only Choice is Civil Disobedience. She discussed her work mailing naloxone to individuals across the United States that she had met through online recovery forums. Tracey’s work was startlingly simple yet effective. How could her work be scaled up and implemented across 50 states? This question led to NEXT.

With Tracey’s blessing, NEXT was founded in 2017, since then NEXT has shipped 100,000s of packages NARCAN® ®/Naloxone to low and no-access communities across the United States. In 2023 alone NEXT shipped 149,052 packages of life saving NARCAN® ®/Naloxone to 52,234 US households across all 50 states.
