Reduce harm.

You can still reduce risk and ask for support. Harm reduction is not a requirement to continue using, and showing safer-use resources is not an endorsement of drug use. The purpose is to reduce preventable injury and death while keeping the door to further change open.
Withdrawal can need medical care.
If you may be physically dependent on alcohol, benzodiazepines, or another substance, do not rely on this directory to manage withdrawal. Severe symptoms, overdose, trouble breathing, loss of consciousness, seizure, or immediate danger require emergency medical help.
