Narcan Dispensers at SAU Tech
Saving Lives with Immediate Overdose Response
SAU Tech is committed to creating a safe and supportive campus environment. We have placed nine Narcan (Naloxone) emergency overdose kits across campus to help prevent deaths from opioid overdoses.
These kits contain Naloxone, a life-saving medication that can quickly reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.
Helpful Information
You are protected when helping someone with Naloxone.
Under the Arkansas Opioid Antagonist Immunity Act (2015):
You cannot be sued, criminally charged, or professionally sanctioned for administering Naloxone in good faith during an emergency.
Saving a life is always the right decision.

- Clear instructions are provided inside every kit.
- Fast action with Narcan can restore breathing and consciousness until medical help arrives.

Signs of an Opioid Overdose
If you see someone experiencing these symptoms, act immediately:
