At Chico State, we believe in a harm reduction approach to substance use — because every life is valuable, and deserves access to support without judgment. If you or someone you know uses substances, knowing how to recognize and respond to an overdose can save a life.
Recognizing an Overdose:
Overdoses can happen to anyone. Whether intentional or accidental, opioids—including fentanyl—can slow breathing to dangerous levels. Here's what to look for:
How Narcan (Naloxone) Helps:
Narcan is a safe, easy-to-use nasal spray that can reverse opioid overdoses and restore breathing within minutes. It won't harm someone if opioids aren't present, so if you suspect an overdose, it's always better to use it.
Free Narcan Available on Campus:
Remember the signs of an opioid overdose, pick up free Narcan on campus, and be prepared with the tools to save a life!

Important University Housing Notice
As you probably know, as we get near the end of the semester, Chico State residents will begin moving home the week of May 12th.
