Recognize an Overdose

Recognizing the signs of an overdose can save a life.
Watch for these symptoms:

● Unresponsive to shouting their name or touch.
● Blue or Gray Skin and Lips indicating oxygen deprivation.
● Choking Sounds or snore-like gurgling noise.
● Unresponsive to Sternal Rub (a firm rub on the chest).
● Slow or Shallow Breathing, or not breathing at all.

What to Do in an Overdose Situation

If someone is experiencing an overdose, follow these steps immediately:

● Try to Wake the Person by shouting their name
or rubbing their chest.
● Call 911 to get emergency help.
● Administer Nasal Narcan if you have it available.
● Check for Breathing and continue to monitor the person.
● Stay with the Person until emergency services arrive.

Narcan only lasts 30 to 90 minutes, and once it wears off, individuals can be at risk for overdose again, so you must call 911 in addition to use.

Florida Law on Overdose Protection

Florida law protects overdose victims and those seeking help from prosecution under the Good Samaritan Law (FS 893.21(1)):

“A person acting in good faith who seeks medical assistance for an individual experiencing a drug-related overdose may not be charged, prosecuted, or penalized for possession of a controlled substance if the substance was obtained as a result of the person seeking medical assistance.”

This law ensures that individuals seeking medical help for an overdose, or those providing it, are not prosecuted for drug possession.
