Frequently Asked Questions.

  • Naloxone is a life-saving medication that can reverse an opioid overdose and restore breathing.

  • Fentanyl and Xylazine Test Strips are a low-cost method of helping prevent drug overdoses and reducing harm. These are small strips of paper that can be used to determine if drugs have been mixed or contaminated with fentanyl and/or xylazine, providing people who use drugs and communities with important information about the illicit drug supply so they can take steps to reduce their risk of overdose.

  • Symptoms of an opioid overdose include unresponsiveness (doesn’t wake up when shaken or called); limpness; breathing is not normal (very slow, shallow, or stopped); blue lips, nose, gums, or nail beds; slow or irregular heartbeat or pulse; pin-point sized pupils; and clammy skin.

  • No. Narcan is an antidote for someone experiencing an overdose. Narcan is an opioid antagonist. An opioid antagonist is a medication that blocks the body’s opioid receptors to prevent interactions with opioid drugs. This can stop an overdose before it becomes fatal—restoring breathing within 2-8 minutes. It gives a chance to get the person to the emergency room for treatment. Narcan is safe, not addictive, and very effective in saving lives.

  • No. Act 139 — David’s Law — provides immunity from prosecution for those responding to and reporting overdoses. If someone has overdosed on drugs and you assist them in getting help, you can not be criminally charged, even if you were also using drugs (under most circumstances). This immunity also applies to anyone on probation or parole.

    Good Samaritan Law (Act 139)
    In Pennsylvania, people who call 911 during an overdose emergency may be protected from certain drug-related charges (with limited exceptions).

    ✔️ Calling 911 can save a life
    ✔️ Protections may apply to the person overdosing and the caller
    ✔️ Protections may apply to people on probation or parole
