You don’t have to be an expert to help in a crisis — you just need to know the right steps to take. If you think someone may be experiencing an opioid overdose, call 911, administer naloxone and stay until help arrives. When every second matters, a quick response can make a life-saving difference.

Overland Park residents, you can request free naloxone today at opkansas.gov/opcat so you can be prepared in case of an emergency.

Free opioid prevention resources are provided by the Overland Park Crisis Action Team and funded through a Kansas Fights Addiction grant.
