Cross-sectional study examines naloxone use, 911 calls, and ED visits after nonfatal overdose, highlighting engagement gaps.

Fewer than half of nonfatal overdose events led to emergency department visits, limiting postoverdose care.
Naloxone was used in 82.1% of overdose cases, with 911 calls made in 61.3% of instances among survivors.

Barriers to calling 911 included regaining consciousness without naloxone and bystanders administering naloxone.

Saloner et al. (2025) studied this question.
