Get Help Now Hotline

If you are looking for substance use disorder treatment options or resources for yourself or a loved one, help is available. Call the Department of Drug and Alcohol Program’s (DDAP) Get Help Now Hotline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357). This confidential hotline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to all Pennsylvanians regardless of insurance and is available in both English and Spanish. It is staffed by trained professionals who can connect you directly to local treatment and resources. If you prefer, there is a chat option on the DDAP website as well as a texting option at 717-216-0905.

Naloxone

The medication naloxone can be life-saving when administered to someone experiencing an opioid overdose. Naloxone is available to all Pennsylvanians through the Secretary of Health’s standing order, a prescription written for the general public. If you would like to obtain naloxone, you can visit a pharmacy and indicate you would like to use the standing order to fill a naloxone prescription. Additionally, you can order naloxone online to be mailed to you directly through Next Distro. For more information on naloxone, visit www.pa.gov/opioids.
