    • Contact your healthcare provider.

    • Locate virtual treatment and recovery program.

    • Medication-assisted treatment for alcohol or opioid use disorders may be an option.

    • Take medicine as prescribed and continue your therapy, treatment, or support appointments (in person or through telehealth services) when possible.
