The University of Wisconsin-Madison installed 13 new naloxone boxes, totaling 25 boxes throughout campus. These boxes provide free access to NARCAN®, a brand of naloxone nasal spray, which is a safe, lifesaving medication that can rapidly reverse an opioid overdose.
The boxes are located near an AED in each building and contain NARCAN® nasal spray, a breathing barrier, instructions on how to administer NARCAN® nasal spray, and recovery-based resources. New installation locations include the Bakke Recreation & Wellbeing Center, Student Activity Center, Memorial Union, and more.
