NARCAN: Resources
What is Naloxone?
Naloxone, also known as NARCAN, is a safe and effective medication that can reverse an overdose from opioids, including prescription painkillers, heroin, and/or fentanyl. Naloxone is available over the counter without a prescription. If you or a loved one are experiencing an addiction or are prescribed powerful narcotic painkillers, you should have naloxone on hand.
Signs of an Overdose
How to Respond to an Overdose
- Check for responsiveness – take precautions to avoid contact with Fentanyl
- Call 9-1-1
- Administer Nalxone/NARCAN
- Provide chest compressions (CPR) if the person does not respond to the medication
- Re-administer NARCAN after 3 minutes (if the person did not respond) or if the person overdoses again when the medication wears off in 45-90 minutes.
Good Samaritan Laws
AB 472, California’s 911 Good Samaritan law, provides limited protection from arrest, charge and prosecution for people who seek emergency medical assistance at the scene of a suspected drug overdose.
What does this mean? Many overdose deaths are preventable, yet people often fear arrest if they call 9-1-1 for help at the scene of a drug overdose. Good Samaritan Laws are designed to encourage people to seek medical care for the overdose victim by providing limited protection from arrest, charge, and/or prosecution for low-level drug violations.
