Usually it doesn't work like that. You basically need to check why it has been overheated. If it was because of you didn't have enough of coolant than you need to add coolant and check for leakage. If it happened because of the thermostat failure, you need to replace the thermostat and then drive the car.

Other things might cause overheating too.

PS: You have to be careful when you are dealing with an overheated engine.
