You can start here
If a substance or habit feels hard to control, reaching out is a meaningful step. You don’t have to wait until things get worse to talk to someone.
A few next steps
- Tell a trusted adult or healthcare professional what is happening, as honestly as you can.
- Ask for help finding appropriate treatment and support. A Hope Coach can help you think about reaching out.
- If there may be an overdose or a medical emergency, contact emergency services immediately. A resource page is not emergency medical care.
If faith is helpful to you
Galatians 6:2
We are invited to help carry one another’s burdens. Recovery deserves support.
