Are Alcohol or Drugs Getting in the Way?

Substance Use Disorder (SUD), also known as addiction, happens when regular use of alcohol or drugs causes harmful and self-destructive behavior. It is a medical condition that can be treated, and there is help.
The Substance Abuse Service Helpline (SASH) is a toll-free helpline you can call to get help for substance abuse, misuse, and addiction. We have a team of trained professionals available, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to help you manage in crisis during these uncertain times. We can assist you with your options and help you find a provider that meets your specific needs.
