Abstract
Opioid overdose remains a significant public health crisis globally, contributing to thousands of preventable deaths annually. Rapid and effective response strategies are critical to mitigate the devastating consequences of opioid toxicity. This article reviews the current understanding of opioid overdose response, encompassing epidemiology, pathophysiology, and intervention strategies. It highlights the importance of naloxone administration, public health campaigns, and community-based interventions in reducing opioid-related mortality. Additionally, emerging technologies and policy reforms aimed at addressing this crisis are explored. The findings underscore the need for a multifaceted approach to combat the opioid epidemic and improve survival rates among affected individuals.
