It's International Overdose Awareness Day, and we want to break the stigma - this year's theme is '25 years on. Still needed.'

Do you know the signs of an overdose?

Keep an eye out for:

- Deep snoring/gurgling noises
- You can’t wake the person up, and they don’t respond if you shake their shoulders or call their name
- A blue tinge to the lips, nail beds or other extremities
- They have stopped breathing

If you think someone has overdosed, call 999 and wait for an ambulance.

For more information, advice and guidance contact our service:
