Make the Call! Dial 911 ™
Many people do not call 911 because they are afraid of being arrested, but calling 911 may be the ONLY way to save someone’s life.
You Are Responsible
- Overdose deaths are second only to car crashes for unintentional injury deaths.
- Many overdose deaths could have been prevented if someone called emergency services.
- Approximately 28,000 people in the U.S. die from a prescription drug overdose each year. [15]
Be the Hero...Tell Someone ™
If you or someone you know is using drugs, tell someone that can help before an overdose occurs.
- Don’t let your loved one’s denial of a problem prevent you from helping them.
