Save a life and stop opioid overdoses! Learn what an overdose is, what the signs and symptoms of an overdose are and how Naloxone and the OneBox are distributed across campus.

The Georgia Department of Public Health since 2022 has reported an increase in accidental opioid overdoses across the state of Georgia as a result of substances being contaminated with fentanyl.

Saving a life is the number one priority during an overdose.

While the majority of the UGA community does not consume alcohol or other recreational substances, opioid overdoses can occur under a number of different circumstances.

No different than AED/CPR first aid boxes that are placed strategically across campus, ONEbox units will also be available in case of an overdose situation. This program is a collaborative effort between The Fontaine Center, University Health Center Pharmacy, and other Student Affairs offices. Members of the UGA community can find a ONEBox which contains Naloxone as well as video instructions on how to administer it included within the boxes. ONEbox technology was developed by the West Virginia Drug Intervention Institute. Participate in this training to learn how the OneBox can help everyone to be an upstander and intervene if someone is in need of help.
