The law provides protection for individuals who seek help or report a drug overdose. The law encourages individuals to call 911 or seek assistance without fear of legal repercussions in the context of overdose situations.

Naloxone is a medicine that rapidly reverses an opioid overdose. It is an antagonist. This means that it attaches to opioid receptors and reverses and blocks the effects of other opioids. Naloxone can quickly restore normal breathing to a person if their breathing has slowed or stopped because of an opioid overdose.
Fentanyl is the leading cause of death for adults ages 18 to 45. It's hidden in counterfeit pills, disguised as something safe. But it's anything but safe.
Nearly 80,000 (or about 76%) of the 105,007 drug overdose deaths in 2023 involved an opioid. CDC data show a potential bystander was present in nearly 43% of overdose deaths in 2023. With the right tools, bystanders can act to prevent overdose deaths.
Naloxone won't harm someone if they're overdosing on drugs other than opioids, so it's always best to use it if you think someone is overdosing. If you give someone naloxone, stay with them until emergency help arrives or for at least four hours to make sure their breathing returns to normal.
