Substance Abuse

If you find yourself drinking or using drugs to cope, it is time to seek help.  Although using drugs and alcohol may seem to help you cope, substance abuse can make your symptoms worse, delay your treatment and complicate recovery.  It can also cause abuse or addiction problems.  To find help now, call 800-662-HELP (4357) or visit www.findtreatment.samhsa.gov.

Smoking

If you smoke, talk to your doctor about quitting.  Smoking puts you at risk for problems like heart disease and cancer.  For more information about quitting, call 800-QUIT-NOW (784-8669) or visit www.becomeanex.org.

If you are in crisis now, seek help immediately.  Call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or dial 911 for immediate assistance.
