By learning about naloxone and keeping it on hand, you become an "upstander" – someone prepared to step in and potentially save a life. Naloxone access and use is legal in all 50 states, and many states have Good Samaritan laws that protect people who respond to overdoses.

Remember: Naloxone can't be used to get high and isn't harmful if given to someone who isn't experiencing an opioid overdose. When in doubt, it's always better to administer naloxone.

By working together and being prepared with naloxone, we can prevent overdose deaths and create safer, healthier communities for everyone.
