Harm Reduction Never Use Alone.. 24/7 overdose detection hotline

[NeverUseAloneInc]

Never Use Alone- a overdose prevention run by peers

If you are using alone and need someone to make sure you’re safe, please give us a call 24/7/365. We are a nonprofit harm reduction organization that specializes in overdose detection. NUA is made up of volunteers who have real life experience with substance use and have a passion for saving lives.

Since the fall of 2019, we have successfully detected 89 overdoses and each one survived! When you call, you will get a live, trained operator that will get some information from you and then stay on the line while you use until you’re safe.

Things we will ask…

Your name. It doesn’t have to be your real name. It could be an alias, whatever you are comfortable with.

Your physical address/location. We need this for incase an overdose is detected and there is a need for emergency services.

We will ask about the substance you’re using, route of administration, and other prevalent things related to your substance of choice.

We would get a list of health conditions and allergies.

Things we will not do…

We do not save your personal information or share it with ANYONE.

We do not work with or report to the police or any other government agencies, including CPS. EVER!!!

We will never pressure you into recovery

We will never judge or mistreat you. We will support you with the utmost love and respect.

If you have any questions about our services or organization, please reach out! We are all about saving lives!

Just so people know, this is legit. It's listed on my states Department of Health website

 

[NeverUseAloneInc]

Thanks!!! I am happy to answer any questions people may have about our services.

What state are you in? I'd love to go to your website and peruse. I'm involved with the embryonic stages of a harm reduction program in my state.

 

[NeverUseAloneInc]

We are all over. We serve the US and Canada

 

[SuperPsych]

Just wanted to say, I appreciate all that you do. It's nice to see some actual, practical harm reduction strategies taking hold in the States. I'm currently in an outpatient program and fliers with your number are posted on every wall of the building. It's a great service and one that I wish I had been aware of when I was using drugs intravenously pretty heavily

 

[NeverUseAloneInc]

I love hearing that!! I definitely agree, that I wish there had been services like this when I was in my active substance use. Thank you so much for your support and kind words. We really appreciate you

Do the operators engage in a conversation with the person that calls? Or just sort of listen in? I would imagine it varies I suppose

 

[NeverUseAloneInc]

It just depends on what they're comfortable with. Most, yes.. we do have pretty in depth conversations! I have met some of the most incredible people on the lines. Good talks. Phenomenal individuals.
