How Do I Respond When Someone Has an Overdose?

• Step 1: Call 911.
• Step 2: Follow the 911 dispatcher’s instructions or perform chest compressions if comfortable doing so.
• Step 3: Give naloxone.
• Step 4: Give a second dose of naloxone in 2 to 5 minutes if there is no response to the first dose.

Seek medical attention immediately due to the risk of re-overdosing when naloxone wears off and to avoid complications
