When someone you love is using, knowing what to do next can feel overwhelming. Start with a conversation. We’re here to help you understand the options and find a path forward.
If someone is overdosing, having a seizure, suicidal, unconscious, or medically unstable, call 911. If they are experiencing an acute psychiatric crisis but are not in immediate physical danger, call or text 988. A website can offer guidance, but it is not a substitute for emergency care.
If they are using but are still physically stable, there may be a window to take the next step. That can start with a conversation, a licensed assessment, and understanding what level of care fits their current situation.
Addiction and substance use can change quickly. The right level of care should be based on what is happening now, not who someone was five years ago. A current assessment helps identify what they need today and what support can realistically help them move forward.
You can call us even if they are not ready to talk. We can help you understand your options, answer questions, and talk through what may come next.
You may not be able to make someone recognize that they need help. You can, however, make the path to help more clear. We can assist to remove some of the uncertainty around treatment, insurance, assessments, and levels of care.
