Tags: What are safer use hotlines? Safer use hotlines are phone numbers people can call if they are using substances alone, with no one to call for help should an emergency arise. These hotlines are free, available 24/7, and are confidential.
Overdoses can happen when people least expect, which is why supports like safer use hotlines are key!
In addition to the number of a safer use hotline, there are other tools that can be used to prevent and respond to an overdose. For prevention, there are safer use supplies and tools like test strips, which can detect the presence of substances that can increase the risk of overdose. For overdose response, there is naloxone, the opioid overdose reversal medication.
For access to FREE supplies for overdose prevention and response, come visit us Face to Face at 873 Second Street, Santa Rosa. We’re open Tuesday-Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
