Complete refresher training at least every 2 years
Contact Emergency Medical Services (EMS)- Call 911- if there is a suspected drug overdose.
Advise if naloxone was used on victim
Report all opioid overdose responses/ naloxone administrations to your OOP program director and get a refill

About 2% of heroin users die each year- many
from heroin overdoses
1/2 to 2/3 of heroin users experience at least
one nonfatal overdose
80% have observed an overdose

Among heroin users it has generally been those
who have been using 5-10 years
After rehab
After incarceration
Less is known about prescription opioid users
Anecdotal reports of youth dying suggest that
many of those have been in drug treatment and
relapse are now overdose victims

•Generally happens over course of 1-3 hours
•When stronger opiates such as fentanyl are added to the
mix it is much more immediate
•The stereotypical “needle in the arm” death may be
only about 15% but with the addition of
pharmaceutical grade fentanyl to the heroin mix this
is becoming more common
•Opioids repress the urge to breath – decrease
response to carbon dioxide – leading to respiratory
depression and death
Slowed breathing Breathing stops Heart stops

The majority of heroin overdoses are witnessed
Provides opportunity for intervention
Fear of police may prevent calling 911“Don’t run, call 911!”
Witnesses may try ineffectual thingsMyths and lack of proper training
Abandonment is the worst response

Overdose Reversals and Time of Day• Low in the mornings. We think many individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs) have regular jobs, and are
self-medicating before they start their day. • Spike from Noon – 1 PM: people self-medicating on their lunch break?• Slight lull in evening; we think that’s when people are heading home or preparing/eating dinner.
