The effects of naloxone or narcan can wear off before the opioid does, and the person can slip back into overdose - always seek medical attention if someone is experiencing overdose, even after they have been given naloxone. Together we can #EndOverdose 💜 by @overdoseawarenessday

An overdose doesn't look the the same for everyone. If you're unsure, providing naloxone to someone who is not experiencing an opioid overdose won't harm them. What's an overdose myth that you'd like to bust? by @overdoseawarenessday

Stigma stops people from asking for help. Stigma stops people from being honest. Stigma drives people into secrecy. Let's work to end stigma by challenging stereotypes, having open conversations and listening to people who are experiencing stigma. #EndOverdose by @overdoseawarenessday

Do you know what the signs of overdose are? For opioids, they can include:
- not responding
- cold or clammy skin
- irregular, shallow, or slow breathing
- snoring or gurgling sounds (can appear like deep sleep)
- blue/pale or grey/ashen lips or fingertips.
Use naloxone if you have it and call an ambulance because naloxone only temporarily reverses overdose. Share this post - Overdose deaths are preventable when we know the signs! #EndOverdose by @overdoseawarenessday

Did you know that Naloxone can’t be misused and won’t harm someone if they turn out to be unconscious for a different reason than an opioid overdose? If in doubt, use Naloxone - it can save a life. #endoverdose by @overdoseawarenessday
