Signs of an overdose include heavy breathing, snoring or gurgling, unresponsive but awake, limp body, seizures, slow or erratic pulse, pale or blue lips/face. Immediately call 911 if you suspect an overdose, then administer Narcan. To prevent overdoses, carry Naloxone, use only one drug at a time or less of each one, don’t mix with alcohol, don’t use alone, start low and go slow, test your supply for fentanyl via test strips from a place like First Capital Cornerstone of Change and sign up for community alerts of bad drug batches (Text SOAR to 740-749-7627).
In the case of a suicide attempt, dial 988 or go to the Adena Regional Medical Center located at 272 Hospital Rd, Chillicothe, OH 45601
