💜 Wearing Purple for Overdose Awareness

Today, staff from across Stony Brook Medicine wore purple in recognition of International Overdose Awareness Day, joining people around the world in raising awareness about overdose and substance use. Purple represents remembrance, awareness and hope. By wearing it, our teams honored those whose lives have been lost to overdose, showed support for individuals and families affected by substance use, and helped bring attention to the importance of prevention, treatment and recovery.

Thank you to everyone across Stony Brook Medicine who wore purple and helped shine a light on this important issue. Together, we remember, support and take action.

💙 Treatment is available. Recovery is possible.

Substance use disorder is a health condition. Stigma can make people feel ashamed or afraid to ask for help, creating another barrier between someone and the treatment they may need.

Compassion, respect and judgment-free support can make it easier for someone to speak honestly, explore treatment and take a first step toward recovery.

If you are concerned about your substance use, talk with a medical professional. If you are worried about someone you care about, choose a calm time to share your concern, listen with an open mind and offer to help connect them with care.

Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital offers inpatient and outpatient behavioral health and substance use services to support individuals on their path to recovery.

Understanding overdose risk can help prevent an emergency.

Using more than one substance can intensify or mask the effects of drugs. Combining opioids with alcohol, benzodiazepines or other sedatives is especially dangerous because each can slow breathing.

Overdose risk may also increase when someone:
• Uses alone
• Takes an unfamiliar substance
• Obtains pills outside a licensed pharmacy
• Takes more than intended
• Returns to a previous dose after a period of abstinence

Polysubstance use is not always intentional. Fentanyl or another unexpected substance may be present without the person’s knowledge.

Knowing the risks is an important part of overdose prevention. So is knowing where to turn for help.

Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital offers inpatient and outpatient substance use services for individuals seeking treatment and support.

🚨 Someone experiencing a stimulant overdose may still be awake and talking, but that does not mean they are safe.

Stimulants such as co***ne, methamphetamine, and M**A can place dangerous stress on the heart, brain, and other organs.

Warning signs may include:
• Rapid or irregular heartbeat
• Overheating and heavy sweating
• Severe agitation or hallucinations
• Chest pain
• Seizures

Serious complications can include heart attack, stroke, and organ damage.

Call 911. If it is safe, move the person to a quiet, cooler setting, reduce noise and stimulation, and remain calm while waiting for help.

For ongoing support, Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital offers inpatient and outpatient services for individuals affected by substance use.

Alcohol poisoning is an overdose, and it can be life-threatening.

Warning signs may include confusion, repeated vomiting, seizures, slow or irregular breathing, clammy or bluish skin, and difficulty remaining conscious.

Never assume someone who has passed out can simply “sleep it off.” Alcohol can continue entering the bloodstream after drinking stops, and an unconscious person may choke on vomit.

Call 911, place the person on their side to reduce the risk of choking and stay with them. Do not induce vomiting, give them coffee or put them in a cold shower.

If alcohol or substance use is affecting you or someone you care about, help is available. Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital provides inpatient and outpatient treatment services close to home.
