Opioid Overdose
Opioid drugs affect the part of your brain that controls your breathing. When you take more opioids than your body can handle (overdose), your breathing slows. This can lead to unconsciousness and even death.
Problematic Opioid Use
Opioids have the potential for problematic use because they can produce euphoria (feeling high).
Naloxone can save a life
Naloxone (pronounced na-LOX-own) is a fast-acting drug used to temporarily reverse the effects of opioid overdoses. Naloxone can restore breathing within 2 to 5 minutes.
