Do you know the signs of an overdose?



It’s Overdose Awareness Day, and we want to make sure everyone can recognise the signs of an overdose.



Keep an eye out for:



- Deep snoring/gurgling noises

- You can’t wake the person up, and they don’t respond if you shake their shoulders or call their name

- A blue tinge to the lips, nail beds or other extremities

- They have stopped breathing



If you think someone has overdosed, call 999 and wait for an ambulance.



You can also give them naloxone, but this will only be effective if they have taken opioids or drugs contaminated with synthetic opioids. If you think someone is overdosing but you aren’t sure what they’ve taken, you can still give them naloxone. It won’t hurt them, and it could help them.



If you’d like a naloxone kit and training on how to use it, call us on 01484 353333 or email our Harm Reduction Lead - [email protected]
