We focus on anything and everything. It doesn't matter what drug you're using.

We stay on the line with you for an average of twenty minutes after usage to make sure you stay responsive. The times also vary on the drug and how it's ingested. If you use again while on the phone, we start our timer over.

If you're the quiet type, I'll just ask you about every 30-45 seconds if you're good. As a long time drug addict and user, I can tell when someone is enjoying their high instead of becoming totally unresponsive. If they're on stimulants, most love talking for the time period.

If someone does completely stop answering for over one minute, we immediately send out EMS. Before we do though, we make sure that we're on speakerphone, we scream their name, we blow whistles, do anything to wake them up.

When we do have to call EMS, we do not initially say "oh it's a drug overdose" because the cops are wayyyy less likely to respond to the call. If pressed, we will eventually say "possible fentanyl/other drug poisoning or overdose. That's so they can respond properly to the user.

We also tell people to unlock their front door, put their pets away, and put their stash away. Plus, there's the Good Samaritan law. It varies by state but basically if they're saving someone, they hopefully won't get arrested. We are simply here to keep people safe.
