Signs of an Overdose

Be prepared to stop an overdose before you are faced with it. You can reverse an overdose if you know what to do and you act in time. Whether you use drugs, love someone who does, or just care about the people in your community, it’s important to be prepared if you encounter someone who is overdosing.

"You lose the person who struggles with substance abuse. But we all struggle with addiction – gambling, food, pornography, alcohol. As a society we should be there for each other, and look at ourselves before we

judge other people."
