Overdose response is an operations issue
If your house serves people in recovery, plan for the worst day now, not during it. 🆘 At minimum, decide and write down: • Naloxone on site, unexpired, in a known and unlocked location. Multiple doses. • Every staff member and house manager trained to use it — refreshed, not trained once years ago. • Emergency protocol posted where staff can see it: call 911 first, administer, stay with the person, meet the ambulance. • Who gets called after — emergency contacts, the referral source, the family. • An incident report completed the same day. • Support for residents and staff who witnessed it. That day marks people. Many states have Good Samaritan laws that protect people who call for help during an overdose, and many make naloxone available without an individual prescription. Check what's true where you are. This is not pessimism. It's the same reason you own a fire extinguisher. And it's the difference between a business and a calling. ✝️ Anybody can rent beds. You said yes to being responsible for lives. Act like the weight is real, because it is. Today: check your naloxone expiration date. Right now, before you scroll. 👇 Where do you source yours? Free programs exist in a lot of counties — share what you know.
