Narcan and Testing Strips available on Campus:
In collaboration with OASAS, Project SafePoint and Albany County Department of Health, Siena University has renhanced access to naloxone, commonly known as Narcan and Fentanyl and xylazine test strips.
Siena has installed a dedicated housing unit in the Sarazen Student Center near the ATM and each of the residence halls/townhouse areas.
This unit is fully stocked with the life-saving medication. Naloxone is critical in reversing the potentially fatal effects of an opioid overdose. This initiative aims to proactively increase naloxone availability and is not a response to any specific incident or trend on campus. Research consistently highlights the life-saving potential of making naloxone easily accessible.
Each housing unit, also has Fentanyl and xylazine test strips available as well.
As a reminder, when administering NARCAN
on campus:
- call Public Safety at 518-783-2999 for an expedited and coordinated emergency response.
off campus
- Call 911
Those who call for help and persons experiencing an overdose will both be granted certain protections by the Siena Univeristy Welfare of the Community (Amnesty) policy and New York State Law.
