Supportive Substance Use Disorder Services
Drug Related Harm Reduction Programs
Programs whose objectives are to protect people from the potentially deadly effects of the drugs they use, reduce HIV risk, increase access to treatment services and reduce public drug use and improper disposal of hypodermic needles and syringes.
Police Assisted Addiction and Recovery Initiatives
Programs established by local police departments that have made a decision to encourage individuals with an opioid use disorder to seek medical care and ongoing treatment as an alternative to arrest, prosecution and a possible prison term. Participating police departments connect individuals asking for help with treatment programs and facilities and, at the community level, help distribute opioid blocking drugs to prevent and treat overdoses and provide resources to other police departments wanting to implement this approach.
Substance Use Disorder Drop In Programs
Programs based on a harm reduction model that provide a safe and supportive environment which allows individuals who use drugs and/or alcohol to drop in and access multiple related services including group and individual counseling, day beds, showers, clothing, medical care, needle exchanges, sterile injection equipment and overdose prevention training, as well as information and referral, social activities and snacks. The programs may be structured for specific populations such as women or sex trade workers or be open to all.
Substance Use Disorder Hotlines
Programs that provide immediate assistance for people who have problems related to excessive use of alcohol and/or use of other drugs or are at risk of a substance use related disorder. Services may include defusing the crisis, ensuring the person's safety and information about alternatives the person may explore to begin recovering. Substance use related hotlines are also typically available to significant others of people who are involved with drugs and/or excessive alcohol use. Hotline staff can generally be reached via the telephone, email, live chat, texting and/or instant message (IM).
Substance Use Disorder Referrals
Programs that link people who are in need of drug and/or alcohol use disorder services with appropriate resources.
