UT Austin giving students, staff, and faculty free Narcan

Featured Replies

Posted this on the West Point thread in the Football forum but thought it deserved it's own thread. Props to UT for trying to prevent accidental overdoses. I wonder if a certain former player's brother's needless death had something to do with this. Whatever the reason, good of UT Austin on this.

AUSTIN, Texas — The University of Texas said it is now providing a potentially life-saving medication used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose for free to everyone on campus.

In addition to being available for emergency access in all on-campus residence halls, Narcan, or naloxone, is now available for free to UT students, faculty and staff at the Perry-Castañeda Library in the form of a nasal spray.

 

The move comes after Austin-Travis County EMS (ATCEMS) saw at least 12 people taken to the hospital early this month due to drug overdoses. There were a total of seven incidents in the downtown area, and two people died on the scene.

 

Healthyhorns tweeted on Thursday that the Perry-Castañeda Library is both a distribution hub and emergency access point, meaning it can be picked up for immediate use or to take home for potential later use.
