STOP Opioid Overdose

CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY!!!!

ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY: 

• "SOMEONE IS UNRESPONSIVE AND NOT BREATHING!"
• GIVE CLEAR ADDRESS/LOCATION.   

CALL 911 REGARDLESS IF PATIENT BECOMES RESPONSIVE. 

• RECURRENCES ARE COMMON.

SIGNS OF AN OVERDOSE

• Slow or shallow breathing
• Gasping for air when sleeping or weird snoring
• Pale or bluish skin (ashen for darker skinned people)
• Slow heartbeat; low blood pressure
• Won't wake up or respond (rub knuckles on sternum)

GOOD SAMARITAN LAWS APPLY AND PROTECT ANYONE WHO REPORTS AN OVERDOSE.

     

Get The Antidote - NALOXONE

GET NALOXONE

Let us prescribe you naloxone.

The more Naloxone is available within a community the number of overdose deaths go down.

It is everyone's responsibility to make Naloxone readily available.

If you cannot afford a standard prescription ask Dr. Rotchford and he can prepare a "homemade" kit.
