Create an overdose safety plan with someone who knows you are going to use and who could call 911 in case of an overdose or emergency. Call the “Never Use Alone” hotline at 1-877-696-1996 before using so someone can monitor your safety by phone. Start with a small amount and wait to see how you feel before taking more. Avoid mixing drugs or mixing drugs and alcohol. Using different drugs together, including alcohol, increases your risk of overdose. Whether or not you use drugs, carry naloxone, a lifesaving medication that can reverse an opioid overdose. If you witness an overdose, call 911 immediately. If you or someone you know needs mental health support, is experiencing a mental health crisis, or struggling with substance use, call or text 988, or visit nyc.gov/988.
