(Linn County, IA) -- Linn County is taking steps to address the opioid crisis by installing overdose vending machines.

Seven machines will be stocked with free naloxone to treat narcotic overdoses, along with wound-care kits, and sharps containers.

The machines are funded by 150-thousand dollars from opioid drug manufacturer settlements.

The public health department hasn't yet said where, or when the machines will be available.
