Every second counts in an overdose. That’s why we’re sharing an important free life-saving resource now available to the communities you serve: SafeSpot, a confidential overdose prevention hotline.
By calling 800-972-0590, individuals are connected with a trained operator who will:
- Stay on the line while they use
- Ask for their location in case they stop responding
- Call for help immediately if an overdose is suspected
As you know, a person experiencing an overdose can’t administer life-saving medication like naloxone (NARCAN® Nasal Spray) to themselves. SafeSpot is here when others can’t be.
Please share this number widely with your teams and the individuals you support.
To help you spread the word, we’ve created a free toolkit that includes a range of social media assets. You can access the materials on the LiveLOUD Toolkit and search under “harm reduction”.
Help us reduce overdose deaths and ensure no one is ever truly alone.
