August is Overdose Awareness Month.

Let’s stand together to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and save lives. Knowing the signs of an overdose could save a life.

Some signs of an overdose include:
· Loss of consciousness
· Unresponsive to outside stimulus
· Awake but unable to talk
· Breathing is very slow, irregular, or has stopped
· Very pale or clammy skin

What to Do if You Suspect an Overdose:
· Call 911 immediately
· Administer naloxone if available
· Try to keep the person awake and breathing
· Lay them on their side to prevent choking
· Stay with them until help arrives

Every second counts. Your awareness could save a life.
