How to
Identify an
Opioid Overdose
- The person won’t wake up even if you shake them or say their name
- Breathing slows or even stops
- Lips and fingernails turn blue or gray
- Skin gets pale, clammy
In Case of Overdose
1. Call 911 and give Naloxone
CA Healthy and Safety Code section § 11376.5 protects Good Samaritans from prosecution. Don’t be afraid to call for help! If there’s no reaction in 3 minutes, give a second dose of Naloxone.
2. Do rescue breathing or chest compressions
Follow 911 dispatcher instructions.
3. After Naloxone
Stay with the person for at least 3 hours or until help arrives.
4. Follow up
Medical care is important!
What is Naloxone?
A life-saving medication that works to reverse an opioid overdose while having little to no effects on a person if opioids are not present in their system. Naloxone blocks opioid receptor sites, reversing the toxic effects of opioid overdose.
Where to get Naloxone
Naloxone can be purchased at a pharmacy without a prescription. Learn how to administer Naloxone and know where it’s kept.
