As far as I know, there isn't anything like Narcan which can reverse an opioid overdose, which would work for someone overdosing on benzos or the other substances you mentioned. I would think a trip to the ER as fast as possible would give a person the best chance to survive an overdose, probably being taken by ambulance. If you see anyone who's overdosed on anything, call 911 immediately.
