How would anyone know if I overdosed? How would anyone find me?
Carry Naxalone. Naloxone is the emergency antidote for overdoses caused by heroin and other opiates or opioids (such as methadone, morphine and fentanyl).
If you have a smartphone, use BuddyUp app. The BuddyUp app is a support app designed for people who use drugs alone, the idea being if that person logs on the app and then does not log back on by a specific time (after using) a call centre will assume they have overdosed and call emergency services.
