CALL. GIVE. SUPPORT. REPEAT. STAY.

Cannot wake them or breathing is not normal? Call 911 now. Do not delay emergency action to read a resource.

01. CALL 911
Give your location. Say they cannot wake up or are not breathing normally.

02. GIVE NALOXONE
If available, give it now. Follow your kit instructions.

03. SUPPORT BREATHING
Follow the dispatcher for rescue breathing, CPR or an AED. Keep helping.

04. REPEAT. STAY.
No response after 2–3 minutes? Give another dose, following the kit and dispatcher. Stay until help arrives—even if they wake up.

Naloxone temporarily reverses an opioid overdose. Its effect can wear off before opioids do. It does not reverse every kind of poisoning. Call 911 even without naloxone.

After immediate care: share verified advisories and protect the person’s privacy.
