Opioid emergency — Find Help Now
Free · No account · In an emergency call 911
If someone is overdosing
- Call 911 now. Say where you are and that someone may be overdosing. Help is free and you will not get in trouble for calling.
- Give naloxone if you have it. Spray one dose into one nostril. It is safe even if you are not sure it is an opioid overdose — it cannot hurt them.
- Roll them on their side. The recovery position keeps the airway clear if they vomit. Tilt the head back slightly.
- Check breathing & give rescue breaths. If they are not breathing, give one breath every 5 seconds until help or naloxone works.
- Give a second dose after 2–3 minutes. If there is no response and you have another dose, give it in the other nostril. Keep them on their side.
- Stay until help arrives. Do not leave them alone. Naloxone wears off in 30–90 minutes, so they still need medical care.
