You can save a loved one from an overdose.
What is Opiate Overdose Prevention?
An overdose from opiates, such as herion or Oxycodone generally happens over the course of 1-3 hours. During this time, the drug suppress the urge to breathe, therefore the breathing and heartbeat of the victim eventually stops.
When someone you love is abusing opioids you might feel powerless. And if the person refuses to get help, you might be anxious that this person might die of an overdose. However, with the necessary training, you can be prepared to save a loved one from an overdose.
