They are breathing, and you have a Naloxone injection

CALL 911

Tell the 911 operator you suspect someone is experiencing an overdose. Missouri's "Good Samaritan" law protects people who call 911 in response to an overdose from arrest and prosecution for possession of drugs and other minor violations.


HOW TO INJECT NALOXONE

Take the cap off of the vial.

If your syringe is not pre-filled, stick the needle of the syringe through the rubber stopper.

Draw all the fluid in the vial into the needle by pulling back on the plunger of the syringe. Be sure the syringe is filling up with liquid - NOT AIR.

Inject the needle straight into the muscle of the shoulder or the front of the thigh. It is okay to inject through the clothing.

Push the plunger of the syringe down all the way.

Once Naloxone has been given start the two minute timer below. If they are still unresponsive after two minutes, give them a second dose if one is available. 


STAY AND WAIT FOR HELP

When not administering Naloxone, put them on their side with one arm supporting their head and their knee bent to prevent rolling onto stomach.

Stay with the person until medical help arrives

If they stop breathing, begin making gurgling or snoring noises, or their breathing slows down significantly, you will need to begin CPR.
