Signs of Overdose – Save a Life!

Risk Factors  Overdoses can happen to anyone. Individuals at higher risk may have: 

  • a substance use history 
  • a mental health history 
  • a painful physical illness or a compromised respiratory system 
  • combined one drug with other drugs and/or alcohol  
  • used drugs while alone  
  • used after a period of not using or reduced usage, or  
  • a new dealer or new supply


Science describes how opioids shut down the body.


Signs of an Opioid Overdose 

  • ​struggling to breathe or snoring in an unusual way 
  • not reacting to attempts to awaken  
  • hands, face, and/or lips turning purple or blue 
  • not responding to pain  
  • complaining about being too hot  
  • vomiting, or acting unreasonable or appearing confused

  • DO call immediately for medical intervention 
  • DO use Narcan if available  
  • DO try to awaken the person by rubbing knuckles hard against the chest bone  
  • DO clear the airway, pinch the nose closed, and blow air into the mouth  
  • DO position the person on their side if vomiting 
  • DO keep the person warm and stay until help arrives 
  • DO share information about what drugs were used, and 
  • DO leave everything as found

  • DON’T allow the person to “sleep it off” 
  • DON’T put the person in a bath, shower, or ice   
  • DON’T give the person any substance (except Narcan)   
  • DON’T leave the person alone or unattended, and   
  • DON’T treat the person with home remedies - they do not work and postpone life-saving medical treatment
