UHS expands access to Naloxone on campus, now includes College Library

Students, faculty, and staff at the University of Wisconsin–Madison now have greater access to naloxone on campus. Naloxone is a lifesaving medicine that can rapidly reverse an opioid overdose.

UW–Madison is a participant in Wisconsin Voices for Recovery‘s Nalox-ZONE Program, which provides free access to naloxone. Last fall, UW–Madison installed Nalox-ZONE boxes in University Housing that provided free access to NARCAN®, a brand of naloxone nasal spray. This August, due to campus-wide interest, UW–Madison installed 13 additional boxes, for a total of 25 locations on campus, so the entire UW–Madison community has access to this lifesaving measure.
