Using Alone
Doesn't Have to
End in Dying Alone

It’s happening all over King County. Street pills being sold as an oxy and perc could actually contain deadly fentanyl. Fentanyl is being mistaken for cocaine. It's nearly impossible to tell if a drug, including powders and rocks, is cut with fentanyl, so it's important to plan for the worst case scenario. Nobody deserves to die from street pills and powders, especially not alone.

TIME OF OVERDOSE
Overdoses can happen before someone even realizes it. Fentanyl hits you fast, and an overdose can happen in a matter of seconds to minutes. This means it’s nearly impossible for them to know they need to call for help.

CHANCES OF DYING ALONE
Someone else needs to act. If no one is around to notice an overdose, no one will be able to respond in time. The majority of fatal overdoses in King County happen in situations when someone is using alone.
