Overdose Alert
To reduce the risk of an opiate overdose:
- KNOW YOUR TOLERANCE
Use precautions if you haven’t used for a while (e.g. jail, detox, hospital, or you just cut back yourself). Tolerance levels drop rapidly during a break in use. - DON’T MIX DRUGS
Mixing heroin with other drugs like alcohol, methadone, and benzos, increases the risk of overdose. Plus, the content and purity of street drugs is often unpredictable. - DON’T USE ALONE
While using alone isn’t necessarily a cause of overdose, it increases the chance of fatally overdosing because no one is available to call for help.
