Find support

Stop Dependencies is global. Support services are local, so this page uses a small set of high-authority starting points instead of pretending one country's phone numbers work everywhere.

Immediate danger: if someone may die, has overdosed, is severely confused, cannot be kept safe, or is having a medical emergency, use the emergency number for the country you are physically in. Do not rely on this website.

United States

Elsewhere

Use your country's national health service, public-health agency, licensed addiction-treatment directory or local emergency service. Because phone numbers and eligibility differ by country, Stop Dependencies does not display a US emergency number as though it were global.

External services can change addresses or availability. These links were reviewed against current official or national-provider pages when this version was built.

Withdrawal safety matters

Alcohol withdrawal and withdrawal from some drugs can be dangerous. If you have a history of severe withdrawal, use multiple substances, are pregnant, have a serious health condition, or feel severely unwell when stopping, seek medical advice rather than relying on a timer.
