Find Help
If you have an emergency, dial 911 because saving someone from an opioid overdose requires a quick response. Good Samaritan laws provide limited immunity for minor drug violations, drug paraphernalia, and being under the influence at the time of the medical emergency.
Recovery is a process through which people build the skills and support system needed to overcome and manage an addiction. This path looks different for everyone.
