  1. 1

    Call 911 Immediately

    If someone is unconscious, not breathing, or having a severe reaction, call emergency services first.

  2. 2

    Stay With the Person

    Keep the person awake if possible. Turn them on their side if they're vomiting or unconscious (recovery position).

  3. 3

    Gather Information

    If safe to do so, find out what substance was taken, how much, and when. Have this ready for emergency responders.

  4. 4

    Administer Naloxone if Available

    For suspected opioid overdose, administer Narcan/Naloxone if available. It's safe even if the overdose is not opioid-related.

  5. 5

    Do NOT Induce Vomiting

    Unless directed by Poison Control, do not make the person vomit. Some substances cause more damage when vomited.
