Preventing Drug Overdose

  • Naloxone is a fast-acting medication that can save lives in the event of an opioid overdose. It reverses the effects of fentanyl and other opioids and helps to quickly restore breathing. You should consider carrying naloxone if people you know use pills, powders, or heroin. Administering naloxone is not a treatment for an opioid use disorder. More than one dose of naloxone may be required to revive someone if fentanyl or another strong opioid is involved.
  • Naloxone is available in San Diego County—pick up naloxone from a location near you, and add it to your first aid kit today. It is also carried at many pharmacies (copay may be required), and you can also check with your health care provider to get access. Having naloxone on hand in the event of an overdose and calling 911 can save lives.
  • For more information on how to access naloxone, receive a training on how to administer the medication, or to become a naloxone distributor in San Diego County, please contact the County of San Diego Behavioral Health Services Harm Reduction Team at Ha****************@*********ca.gov.
