Report Overdose

Responding to an Overdose

1. Check for overdose. Signs of overdosing: not breathing well, turning blue/gray, not reacting when you rub your knuckles on their chest.

2. Call 911. Say “someone isn’t breathing” and/or “I think it’s an overdose.” Stay until help arrives, even if they seem better.

3. Give Narcan. Push pump only after tip is in nose. Go to Step 4. If no response in 3 minutes, give another dose.

4. Give breaths/CPR. Make sure mouth is clear. Tilt head back, lift chin, pinch nose. Give one breath every five seconds. Try CPR if you’ve been trained. Make sure chest rises with each breath.

5. Stay until help arrives. If breathing well, put on side. If not breathing well, repeat steps 3 and 4. Stay until help arrives.
