Google Maps will display more the location of more than 83,000 recovery meetings, including Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. Moreover, Google Maps will also display the nearest location where people could find non-prescriptions drugs including Naloxone or Narcan that can treat overdoses. All you have to do is search for “Naloxone near me” or “Narcan near me” in the search bar of the app. The company has partnered with Recovery Resource Hub to vet the maps, and the help page won’t feature any ads.
But I’m suspecting this is the US only (at least for now). Let’s hope other such agencies in other countries get to know about it and get involved too.
