Recognizing an opioid overdose can be difficult. If you aren't sure, it is best to treat the situation like an overdose—you could save a life. Administer naloxone or another opioid overdose reversal medication (if available) and then call 911. Try to keep the person awake and breathing and lay the person on their side to prevent choking. Do not leave the person alone.
Signs of an overdose may include:
➡Unconsciousness or inability to awaken
➡Slow or shallow breathing or difficulty breathing such as choking sounds or gurgling/snoring noise from a person who can't be awakened
➡Discolored skin (especially in nails or lips)
➡Small, constricted "pinpoint pupils" that don't react to light
