❓ What is SafeSpot?

SafeSpot is a new, free, and confidential overdose prevention hotline designed to save lives. The risk of overdose increases when someone is using alone, as life-saving medication like naloxone cannot be self-administered. ⁠

📞 By calling 800-972-0590, individuals are connected to a trained operator who will:⁠
• Stay on the line while they use⁠
• Ask for their location in case they stop responding⁠
• Call for help immediately if an overdose is suspected
