In New York City, they hand out Narcan for free. They also provide free training for people just in case you happen to see someone overdosing, which isn’t terrifically uncommon.
I work for a city, and we (try to) do the same. Our current issue is that the nasal spray keeps vanishing out of our kits. They’re kept with the AEDs, which are stored in publicly accessible areas in case anyone needs it. But someone keeps taking the narcan out of the cases. It seems like every week or two, it vanishes again. On the one hand, we hope they’re actually getting put to good use. But our local political demographics make us suspect that some asshole redneck is just stealing them to “teach the druggies a lesson” or something equally depraved.
You can start by trying to put the word out that you’re willing to deal with this person, reasonably. Try to help them get what they need in a way that works better for everyone.
Just an idea to start. I don’t really know much about your situation, so I’ll leave it there for now.

Not unheard of nor even unusual.
