Harm reduction technology that inspires, informs, and mobilizes communities

Naxos OD app splash and Resources screens

An alarming number of community members are losing their lives to drug overdose or handling trauma alone. We create the technology so together we can end these deaths and change lives.

Naxos Neighbors works with PWUD (“People Who Use Drugs”) to build systems that educate, alert, and respond.

We may not stop all overdoses, but deaths are 100% preventable.

Safer Communities Serving Users With Information From Testing

Drug checking is a form of harm reduction that involves chemically analyzing unregulated drugs or drug residue to understand what contaminants are in local drugs. Naxos Neighbors is collaborating with the University of Notre Dame to teach PWUD to use fentanyl, benzodiazepine, and xylazine test strips at home and return their used test strips for mass spec analysis.  Anonymous results are returned to the user and the community at-large through the Naxos OD app.

Partner Testimonial

Velshonna Luckey, Executive Director of Self-Healing Communities of Michiana

Our Self-Healing Communities' vision is to increase protective factors throughout the region; especially one to two caring adults in every person’s life. Naxos Neighbors helps to ensure that members of our communities who are struggling with addiction know they are not forgotten and that their lives matter.  We are grateful that Naxos Neighbors are active in our region and we are committed to supporting Naxos' leaders, volunteers, and partners to make sure they are taking care of themselves neurobiologically as they are committed to taking care of others.
