Never use alone.

If you use drugs, you're not alone — and you don’t have to be alone. Using alone increases your risk of overdose. We’re not here to judge. We’re here to help keep you alive.

Why Not Using Alone Matters

Overdose can happen fast. When no one is around to help, even a few minutes can be the difference between life and death. Having someone nearby — a friend, a family member, or a trained responder — means someone can call for help or administer naloxone if needed.

1. Use With Someone You Trust:

Even just being in the same room or letting someone know you're using can make a difference. If they know what to look for, they can respond quickly in case of an emergency. If both people are using drugs, alternate use so one person can look out for the other.

2. Use a Virtual Overdose Prevention Service

If no one’s around, connect with someone remotely who can check on you and call for help if needed. These services are confidential and nonjudgmental.
