Naloxone is usually given by intravenous bolus injection, repeated every 2-3 minutes until a resposne occurs. It can also be given by intravenous infusion or if the IV route in unavailable, it can be given sub-cut though the response time is slower.
A side note on this:
Naloxone has a shorter half life than morphine, therefore the naloxone may be metabolised and removed from the body before the morphine. If the morphone plasma concentraion has not reduced to safe levels, the person could show the symptoms of overdose again.
