People who use narcotics or other drugs of abuse and are interested in quitting should contact their doctor or local hospital for information on how to get involved with a detoxification and addiction recovery program.
- Any person suspected of narcotic overdose requires immediate medical attention and must be taken to a hospital's emergency department.
- The main physical signs of narcotic overdose are small pupils and respiratory depression (shallow breathing) that can lead to decreased oxygen in the blood, coma, and death.
- Street methods of overdose resuscitation, such as packing the person in ice or injecting milk or saliva, do not work.
