It could be your child recovering from a sports injury. Your grandparent healing after surgery. A friend living with opioid use disorder. Or a loved one who didn't know the pill they took contained fentanyl or another opioid.
That's why knowing how to respond matters. If you think someone is experiencing an opioid overdose:
- Call 911 immediately.
- Administer naloxone as soon as possible. If you're not sure what they took, don't wait to act.
- Stay with the person until help arrives.
