it depends if they have just fainted or if they are going to be out for a while, it also depends on the situation. If the person faints you should rub their hands and arms and try to get circulation running. also they should be on a relatively flat surface and after they wake up, give them some food. Nothing too heavy, maybe something like crackers, and also something to drink. Something that has suger in it so that their glucose levels will stabilize.

Passed Out But You Are Still Breathing
What is the purpose of rescue breathing?
When a person has stopped breathing and can not breathe on his own, rescue breathing (or Mouth-To-Mouth Resuscitation) is given to try and saved the persons live (in addition to CPR and/or defibrilation).
What is the first thing a person should do before beginning CPR?

Who to call if someone has a drug overdose?
If a drug overdose is discovered or suspected, and the person is unconscious, having convulsions, or is not breathing, call for emergency help immediately
What should someone do upon encountering an unconscious person?
If the person finding the unconscious person is trained in First Aid, then use your skills to check for breathing and react appropriately, removing the blockage if applicable and beginning CPR. If two people find someone unconscious, one person stays with the unconscious person and the other goes to call 911 for emergency assistance. Even if only one person finds someone unconscious and knows First Aid, 911 must still be called because CPR is only designed to keep the heart and brain full of blood while EMT is making their way to the person.
