Naloxone

All B.C. universities and colleges are required to install naloxone kits on campus. Naloxone can reverse the effects of an overdose from opioids. The kits, located in designated cabinets, come with instructions and are mounted in the vicinity of emergency phone locations.

If you suspect an overdose, there's no time to waste.

  1. Call 911 immediately. An overdose is a medical emergency.
  2. Then, call Campus Public Safety (CPS) at 778-782-4500 and follow the SAVE ME steps.
  3. Give Naloxone and stay nearby to support until first responders arrive.

Additional resources for overdose prevention and harm reduction are available on the Health and Counselling - Overdose Prevention and Response page.

Note: The provincial  and the federal  offer legal protections to anyone who seeks emergency support during an overdose. This includes the person experiencing an overdose, the person who calls for help, whether they stay or leave from the overdose scene before first responders arrive, and anyone else who is at the scene.

Look for the following observable signs that someone may be experiencing overdose or drug poisoning requiring emergency intervention:

  • Difficulty walking, talking or staying awake
  • Blue, purple or grey lips or nails
  • Very small pupils (also known as pinpoint pupils)
  • Cold and clammy skin to the touch
  • Dizziness and confusion
  • Extreme drowsiness
  • Choking, gurgling or snoring sounds
  • Slow, weak or no breathing
  • Unresponsive, cannot rouse. You may be unable to wake them up, even when shaken or shouted at.

Where to get a naloxone kit

Naloxone kits are found in designated cabinets in various locations on SFU鈥檚 three campuses.The kits include two doses of nasal naloxone and instructions. The cabinets are most frequently co-located near an emergency phone and/or AED. These maps can be found or on the SFU Safe app.

All Campus Public Safety (CPS) responders carry doses of nasal naloxone, are first aid certified and trained to administer naloxone.

Naloxone kits are available for free at B.C. pharmacies and other designated sites through the Province鈥檚  (THN) program.
