Follow these steps while waiting for emergency responders
Try to wake them. Shout their name, rub your knuckles firmly on their chest bone.
Tilt head back, lift chin to open airway. Remove anything blocking mouth or nose.
Give rescue breaths: 1 breath every 5 seconds. Cover mouth, pinch nose, breathe into them.
If no response, administer Naloxone. Call 911. Stay with them until help arrives.
Naloxone is a medication that rapidly reverses opioid overdose. It can restore breathing within 2-5 minutes. It's safe, non-addictive, and has been used by EMS for decades.
In most states, you are protected from prosecution when you call 911 to report an overdose—even if you're using drugs yourself.
Don't let fear of getting in trouble stop you from saving a life. Call 988 or 911.
