The short answer
The official response steps: recognize the signs, call 911, give naloxone, and stay until help arrives.
Health Canada lists four overdose response steps: know the signs, call 911, give naloxone, and stay until help arrives.
Possible signs include difficulty walking, talking, or staying awake; blue, purple, or grey lips or nails; and very small pupils.
Naloxone can temporarily reverse an opioid overdose. Follow local training and the emergency dispatcher’s instructions.
Do not leave someone alone because you are worried about getting them or yourself into trouble. Getting emergency help comes first.
