UW-Platteville has installed Nalox-ZONE boxes containing the life-saving medication, naloxone in all residence halls, as well as Ullsvik Hall and the Markee Pioneer Student Center. Naloxone (also known as Narcan®) can very quickly restore normal breathing to a person whose breathing has slowed or stopped as a result of an opioid overdose.

While there has not been a prevalence of opioid overdose at UW-Platteville, the problems of opioid misuse and fentanyl accidental overdoses have affected communities and college campuses across the country. For the safety of our campus and community, UW-Platteville will make naloxone available for any person in need.
