What is an Opiate/Opioid Hotline?

Opioid hotlines and helplines exist solely for the purpose of helping people ready to make a change. National and local resources exist for drug addiction and drug-related situations of almost any kind imaginable. The difference with an opioid hotline is that its sole purpose is to help those whose addiction is rooted in opioid use.

When Should I Call a Helpline?

First and foremost, if the situation is life-threatening please call 9-1-1 immediately.

While helplines on a national level can provide valuable assistance, it is only local emergency resources that can properly assess and take action when there is immediate danger of harming oneself or others.

If it is not a life-threatening emergency, the time to call is when the addict or loved one realizes it is time to take action toward rehabilitation and recovery.Our 24-hour-a-day, 7-days-a-week opioid hotline is there for those in such a position.

If I Call, What Questions Will They Ask?

A helpline or hotline will focus first on the immediate situation and condition of the individual addicted to opioid as well as those in their presence. As mentioned above, the most important point is to establish that all parties are safe.

  • Is the individual addicted to or abusing opioids in a situation where they may do harm to themselves or others?
  • Are there co-occurring addictions or conditions beyond opioid abuse that need to be addressed?
  • Is the individual seeking a drug treatment program to overcome theiropioid addiction?
  • Do the programs and services offered provide a good match for the caller’s individual needs?

If I Call, Is the Conversation Confidential?

The Recovery Village’s 24-hour, toll-free opioid hotline is 100% confidential.

When calling any of the national resources below we encourage you to ask them to answer any questions you have about confidentiality.

Can I Start the Detox & Rehab Process at the Time of My Call?

All hotlines and helplines will take a different approach. That approach is based upon what facilities they have at hand to help the individual. Our goal is to match suitable, comprehensive opioid addiction treatment that we offer with the needs of the individual seeking treatment. That often comes in the form of, drug rehab but may employ a variety of services including detoxification and therapy, either at an inpatient or outpatient facility.
