There are a number of patient counseling materials available online, including:

• The Maryland Overdose Response Program Training of Trainers​ covers much of the information a patient will need
  
• getnaloxonenow.org provides a free, interactive online overdose response training
  
• prescribetoprevent.org develops provider and patient education materials
  
• Additional patient resources are available here​.​

Family and caregivers should be included, when possible, in patient counseling.  If they are not available then the patient should be instructed to train others in case of an overdose.
