Tips for Calling

Have the address and location of where you are handy.
Stay calm, and ask others around you to be quiet.
Let them know, “my friend has overdosed.” If you don’t want to mention drugs or overdose, tell them, “my friend is not breathing.”
Follow the instructions of the operator and paramedics as closely as you can.
If you have to leave the person for any reason, put them in the recovery position.
