The Sedgwick County Health Department recognizes International Overdose Awareness Day on August 31.
Overdose can affect anyone: friends, family members, coworkers, neighbors and people across Sedgwick County. Knowing how to recognize an overdose and respond can save a life.
Naloxone can reverse an opioid overdose when given in time. Community members are encouraged to carry naloxone, learn the signs of an overdose and call 911 immediately if they believe someone may be experiencing an overdose.
Overdose is everyone’s crisis. Carry naloxone. Know what to do.
