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.


GIVE THEM NALOXONE

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.

MONITOR THE PERSON

Once Naloxone has been given start the two minute timer below and begin CPR. If they are still unresponsive after two minutes, give them a second dose if one is available. Continue giving CPR if they are still not breathing normally.


HELP THEM BREATHE

Place the person on a hard, flat surface. Make sure their airway is clear.

STAY AND WAIT FOR HELP

If they start breathing on their own again, 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.
