Time is critical during an opioid overdose. 

If you believe someone is overdosing, administer naloxone (Narcan) if available and call 911 immediately. Stay with the person until help arrives.

Signs of an Overdose



Responding to an Opioid Overdose

Time is critical when someone is experiencing an opioid overdose. If a person experiencing an overdose stops breathing, they can die within a matter of minutes. If you think someone is overdosing, administer naloxone (narcan) if you have it, and call 911 immediately. DO NOT leave the person alone. 


Did you know that you're protected under Florida law when you help someone who might have overdosed? 

The 911 Good Samaritan Law says that a person acting in good faith who seeks medical assistance for an alcohol- or drug-related overdose may not be arrested, charged, prosecuted, or penalized for simple drug possession.

How Narcan Works

 

How does naloxone work and how do you use it? 

Naloxone quickly reverses an overdose by blocking the effects of opioids. It can restore normal breathing within 2 to 3 minutes in a person whose breath has slowed, or even stopped, as a result of opioid overdose. More than one dose of naloxone may be required when stronger opioids like fentanyl are involved.
