Overdose Prevention Resources
This resource cluster would help visitors recognize overdose warning signs, understand how Narcan/naloxone works, and know what to do after an overdose. The pages should prioritize fast action, local supply access, and practical support.
If someone may be overdosing
- Call 911.
- Give naloxone/Narcan if you have it.
- Try to keep the person awake and breathing.
- Place the person on their side to help prevent choking.
- Stay with them until emergency help arrives.
If you are not sure whether it is an overdose, treat it like one. Fast action can save a life.
