      • 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.
