You can save lives and stop drug overdose by:

- Small, constricted "pinpoint pupils”
- Falling asleep or losing consciousness
- Slow, weak, or no breathing
- Choking or gurgling sounds
- Limp body
- Cold and/or clammy skin
- Discolored skin (especially in lips and nails)
- Using naloxone. Naloxone is a life-saving medication that can reverse an opioid overdose. Naloxone is safe and easy to use and works almost immediately.
- Using fentanyl test strips to detect the presence of fentanyl in different kinds of drugs.
- Having regular conversations with teens, young people, and loved ones about the dangers of fentanyl, the risks of mixing drugs, and the life-saving power of naloxone to reduce the stigma around seeking help, treatment, and care.
- Sharing treatment resources, like the 24/7 National Helpline— 800-662-HELP (4357).
