One moment of awareness could become someone’s second chance. 💜
On International Overdose Awareness Day, we remember the lives lost to overdose, support those who love them, and stand with everyone whose recovery story is still being written.
An opioid overdose isn’t always loud or obvious. Slowed breathing, unusual snoring or gurgling sounds, pinpoint pupils, discolored lips or fingertips, or being unable to wake someone can all be warning signs.
Knowing how to respond matters: call 911, give naloxone if available, place the person on their side, and stay with them until help arrives.
Awareness can save lives. Compassion can help change them.
