University of Wisconsin schools are getting free Narcan to combat opiate overdoses on campus.

Attorney General Brad Schimel said:  “Years ago, I first saw the opioid epidemic take hold in Waukesha County. As district attorney, I met with parents, community advocates, elected officials, pharmacists, doctors, and law enforcement to come up with solutions to the drug epidemic,” said Attorney General Schimel. “As Attorney General, I have continued this fight. Last year, opioids killed 827 people in Wisconsin and we must continue prioritizing prevention, treatment, and enforcement.” Adapt Pharma, the maker of Narcan, is providing the drug to the Wisconsin schools. It will be first provided to their police departments and may eventually be given to resident assistants in student housing.
