Where to get help

Only 11.2% of people suffering from substance abuse receive the treatment they need, and there are 142 drug overdose deaths each day. Many people experiencing substance abuse may not be aware of their actions, and that is why it is important for you to be there for someone and to recognize when they need help. Noticing the symptoms/signs of substance abuse and admitting there is a problem is the first step to recovery. If you or someone you know is going through something like substance abuse, realize that there are resources out there to help. Here are hotlines for drug addiction:
