Prevention

Preventing substance use disorder before it starts is one of the most powerful ways to protect our families and build healthier communities. Substance use can affect anyone, but simple, everyday actions, such as monitoring, securing, and disposing of leftover medications, can drastically reduce the risk of misuse. Misuse is entirely preventable when families and communities are equipped with the right data, tools and education to make informed decisions. No matter where you are in the state, you can take a proactive role in safeguarding your loved ones and your neighbors. The ReviveAR app makes it easy to find local prevention resources, educational tools and Arkansas Drug Take Back disposal locations right in your community.

This is called substance use disorder, and doctors and researchers recognize it as a health condition, not a character flaw or personal weakness. It can affect people from all walks of life, and it can be difficult to ask for help. But support is available. Caring, trained professionals across Arkansas are ready to help you or a loved one take the first steps toward recovery. No matter where you live in the state, treatment options are within reach in your community. The ReviveAR app makes it easy to find local treatment providers and support services near you – download it today.

Recovery

Recovery is about more than just stopping drug or alcohol use, it is about building a healthy, fulfilling life. Recovery support services help people stay on track by offering things like transportation, job and education help, peer mentoring, faith-based support, and self-help groups. Many of these services are provided by Peer Recovery Support Specialists – people who have been through recovery themselves and use their own experience to help others find a path forward. You do not have to go through this alone. There are people in your community who understand what you are going through and are ready to walk alongside you every step of the way.

Opiod Overdose

An opioid overdose is a medical emergency that can happen to anyone, even people who take prescription pain medicine exactly as their doctor told them to. When someone overdoses on opioids, their breathing can slow down or stop completely, which can be life-threatening. Warning signs include unusual sleepiness, slow or stopped breathing, blue lips or fingernails, and cold or clammy skin. Opioid overdoses happen more often than many people realize, and most of the time they happen at home. The good news is that a medicine called Naloxone can quickly reverse an overdose and save a life. Knowing the signs and knowing what to do can make all the difference. Download the ReviveAR app to learn how to respond to an overdose, locate Naloxone near you, and access life-saving resources, all in one place.
