Frequently Asked Questions of NIDA's Drug Facts Chat Day
If you or a friend needs help with a drug problem...
The best way for someone to stop using drugs is to get treatment from a doctor, therapist or support group. The sooner they get treatment the better are their hopes for recovery.
If you are in crisis and need to speak with someone immediately, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (they don't just talk about suicide, they cover a lot of issues and will help put you in touch with someone close by).
For more on treatment and where you can find it, you can call the Substance Abuse Treatment Facility Locator at 1-800-662-HELP or go to their website at www.findtreatment.samhsa.gov. Talking about your drug use can be uncomfortable, but it can help to reach out to a trusted family member, teacher or coach.
