According to the American Psychiatric Association, Substance Use Disorder (SUD) is a complex condition in which there is uncontrolled use of a substance despite harmful consequences. Visit Psychiatry.org to learn more.

The Community Health Division offers Naloxone, a medically approved opioid antagonist that can assist with opioid overdoses. Contact us, visit us at a community outreach event, or stop by one of our Naloxone distribution sites to pick up a box of free Naloxone today!
