TREATMENT RESOURCES
Questions to ask recovery/treatment providers:
- What should we expect from treatment?
- How long is the treatment?
- What treatment options are available?
- How do I know which treatment is best for me or my loved one?
- Is your program licensed and accredited?
- Is your program inpatient or outpatient?
- Tell me about the environment at the facility.
- Do you treat multiple disorders (such as mental health disorders in addition to addiction)?
- If your program is a good fit, how soon can we begin treatment?
- What are my payment options?
- How do you involve the family during and after treatment?
- Do you provide follow-up care once initial treatment is over?
Recovery only requires taking one step at a time. You don’t have to get it right immediately.

REDUCING HARM
The concept of harm reduction acknowledges that completely abstaining from drugs or alcohol isn’t a realistic solution for everyone, but harm reduction efforts attempt to decrease the health, social, and economic consequences of drug and alcohol abuse. Harm reduction strategies include:
- Realize an individual may not be ready to stop using today, but with continued engagement (such as Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous), he or she may be willing to try treatment eventually.
- Seek out syringe services programs to provide clean needles and get used needles off the street.
- Get trained on administering naloxone and keep a supply of this life-saving medication (CPR training is also recommended). Note that “Good Samaritan” laws grant civil immunity for administering the medicine to someone they reasonably believe is overdosing on an opioid.
- Use fentanyl testing strips to test for the presence of fentanyl or related drugs in the street supply of opioids. Search the web for suppliers.
For more information on harm reduction, visit: www.harmreduction.org
Naloxone is a proven tool in the battle against drug abuse and overdose death. When too much of an opioid substance is taken, it can slow breathing to a dangerously low rate. When breathing slows too much, overdose death can occur. Naloxone can reverse this potentially fatal situation by allowing the person to breathe normally again.
Naloxone is not a dangerous medicine. However, proper training is required by law. Any time an overdose is suspected, first responders should be
notified by calling 911 immediately and stay with the
patient until first responders arrive. It is important
to know that some patients may wake disoriented or agitated after receiving naloxone. This is a very good person survive.
Naloxone is only temporary reversal. It’s extremely
important to seek medical care following an overdose.
For more information on obtaining naloxone and training on administering naloxone, please contact:

RECOGNIZING OVERDOSE
Recognizing the signs of an overdose is critical for loved ones of an opioid user. Often families or friends have seen their loved one over-medicated
in the past, so their current reaction has been to let them “sleep it off.” Unfortunately, this complacency could mean death.
SIGNS OF AN OVERDOSE:
- Unresponsive to shouting
- Unresponsive to pain stimulation such as rubbing the chest with knuckles
- Unconsciousness
- Slow and shallow breathing or not breathing
- Pale, clammy skin, loss of color
- Blue, purple or gray skin, especially around lips and fingernails
- Faint or no pulse
- Extremely small “pinpoint” pupils
2,089 Tennesseans died of a drug overdose in 2019.
In the event of a known or suspected overdose:
- Administer naloxone (an extremely effective medication that stops opioid overdoses and saves lives!)
- Call 911
- Watch the person closely. If breathing does not resume within one minute, administer naloxone
- Wait with the person for emergency services to arrive.

Children who learn about the risks of drugs and alcohol from their parents and caregivers are up> to 50% less likely to use them. It’s so important to start talking about drugs and alcohol to kids when they re young, and continue that conversation even into the college years. Here are some tips to get you started
THE L-O-V-E METHOD
Listening: Carefully to kids feelings and concerns. Building trust takes a time and having open conversations is important.
Offering: Using the Information Sandwich
Ask permission to give advice or offer a suggestion. Provide information. Provide options and allow for disagreement. Check for clarity and understanding.
Validation: What kids are feeling is real and important. Kids and teens may feel invalidated by peers, authority figures and the world’s messages. By acknowledging how they feel and what they are going through, you give them agency and validate their experiences.
Empathy: Genuinely and compassionately understanding the child’s perspective goes a long way to building lasting relationships. This doesn’t mean you have to agree, but understanding their point of view is building on mutuality.
PREVENTION
Once relationships are securely built, talking more about the specifics of drugs and alcohol and why kids should stay away from them becomes easier, and a more mutual, ongoing conversation.
