Using substances alone increases the risk of fatal overdose. Nationwide phone lines — answered by people with lived experience — offer nonjudgmental support and stay connected with someone while they’re using, ready to dispatch help if needed.
These services help reduce overdose risk by ensuring no one has to use alone. Many operate anonymously and only contact emergency services if someone becomes unresponsive or asks for help.
