Go to [findtreatment.gov](https://www.findtreatment.gov/) to find substance use disorder treatment near you. Please note that you can filter available options to show those that offer detoxification services, which usually offer same-day admissions. Two nearby substance use disorder treatment programs are the [Maryland Treatment Centers](https://www.marylandtreatment.org/) and [Kolmac](https://www.kolmac.com/). --- # If you or someone you know is having symptoms of alcohol withdrawal... This can be life-threatening and should be treated in a hospital setting. Please go to your nearest emergency room. --- # If you or someone you know is at risk of an opioid overdose... We recommend having naloxone (known as "narcan") available. This is an easy-to-use medication that can save someone's life if they are having an overdose. Remember that opioid overdoses can happen when someone knows they are using drugs that contain opioids *or* when someone uses a drug that has been secretly laced with opioids. To pick up naloxone for free, stop by the University Health Center pharmacy between 9 AM and 5 PM, Monday through Friday. When using naloxone for a suspected overdose, always call 911.
