Do you know the signs of an opioid overdose?

We want to make sure everyone has the knowledge to help someone.

A few things to keep an eye out for are:

- No response when you try to wake them
- They've stopped breathing
- They are snoring deeply or making gurgling noises
- A blue tinge has appeared on their lips or nail beds

If you think someone has overdosed, you should always call 999. For more information on how to help someone who has overdosed, visit our website:

Overdose Awareness Day is on the 31st August and we want to share information and advice on synthetic drugs, including nitazenes. Synthetic drugs are unpredictable in strength but may look the same as street drugs you’re used to. They have led to a steep increase in accidental overdoses and deaths.

If you use drugs, to help keep yourself and your friends as safe as possible:

- Try not to use drugs alone – have friends around to keep an eye on you and look out for signs of an overdose.

- Carry naloxone – naloxone can temporarily reverse the side effects of an opioid overdose, including non-opiate drugs that are contaminated.

- Start low go slow – contaminated drugs may look the same as drugs you usually take. Start off with a smaller dose and wait to see the effects before taking more.

- Use one drug at a time – mixing drugs or taking 2 or more drugs together within a short time significantly increases the risks of an overdose.

You can learn more about synthetic drugs on our website:

https://www.changegrowlive.org/advice-info/drugs/nitazenes

You can always come and speak to us for more information about staying safe. Call us on 0121 227 5890 or email [email protected] and someone will be in touch.
