Fentanyl & Opioid Overdose Prevention​

CDPH continues to increase awareness about fentanyl and opioid overdose prevention to reduce stigma and protect the lives of Californians. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is a major contributor to drug overdose deaths. In 2021, there were nearly 6,000 opioid-related overdose deaths in California.

You can save lives and stop drug overdose by:

  • Knowing the signs of an overdose:  
    • Falling asleep or losing consciousness 
    • Doesn’t respond to stimuli like shouting, a pinch or sternum rub
    • Slow, weak or no breathing 
    • Choking or gurgling sounds 
    • Limp body 
    • Cold and/or clammy skin 
    • Discolored skin (especially in lips and nails)  
    • ​​​​Small, constricted ā€œpinpoint pupilsā€ ā€‹

  • Carrying naloxone. Naloxone is a life-saving medication that can reverse an opioid overdose. Naloxone is safe and easy to use and works almost immediately. It is now available over the counter, without a prescription at pharmacies, convenience stores, grocery stores and gas stations, as well as online.
  • Knowing what’s in your drugs. Where available, get your drugs tested by a local drug checking program There are also at-home test strips available to look for fentanyl, xylazine and benzodiazepines.
  • Never using alone. Get support from the Never Use Alone hotline at 1-800-484-3731​.
  • Having regular conversations with teens, young people and loved ones about the risks associated with fentanyl and mixing drugs, and how to help respond to an overdose to reduce the stigma around seeking help, treatment and care.
  • Sharing treatment resources, like the 24/7 National Helpline— 800-662-HELP (4357).

Learn more by visiting CDPH’s ā€‹Fentanyl information page.

Use this tool​kit to share information about the risks of fentanyl and how to prevent overdose.
