Step 2:

Stay with the person and follow the steps below:

  1. To avoid the spread of COVID-19, best practice is wearing a face shield. If that is not possible, wear a mask
  2. Talk to the person overdosing and let them know what you are doing
  3. Tilt their head back and ensure their airway is not blocked
  4. Put the person into recovery position (move them onto their side, raise their top knee to stop them from rolling, and use their hands to support their head)
  5. Proceed to the next step. If you are using a phone, enable location services first, so the map can find the nearest naloxone kit
