Drug & Alcohol Prevention

Naloxone is an FDA-approved medication that can be used to temporarily and rapidly reverse opioid overdoses caused by opioids such as:  Fentanyl, Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, Codeine, Morphine, and Heroin. Some people may take a substance that they do not know has been laced with fentanyl. Keeping Narcan on hand can save a life. Butler Community College has Narcan kits placed in buildings across campus next to every AED. Students and staff are encouraged to access the kit if they suspect that someone has overdosed on opioids. Narcan is not harmful if administered and the person is not suffering from an opioid overdose.  All Butler police officers also carry Narcan when responding to a potential overdose.

Always call 911 in any emergency.
