What to say when a friend is using

You don't have to fix it — you can keep them alive.

You are not responsible for someone else's choices, but you can make it safer. Never let someone use alone. Learn where naloxone is and carry it. If something looks wrong — slow breathing, can't wake them — call 911 right away. Good Samaritan laws protect you when you call for help. Telling a trusted adult is brave, not snitching.
