Get Medication for Opioid Use Disorder

Each person has a personal path to recovery from opioid use disorder, and treatment with medication is a medical standard of care. People who stop using opioids often go back to using them if they do not use medication to help them. Stopping and then restarting opioid use increases the chance of dying from an overdose.

2
You can get it from a pharmacy or local health department without a personal prescription, often for free.

Dispose of Prescription Opioids

It is not safe to share unused medications with others and it is important remove all leftover prescription pain medication from your home. Medication take-back drop boxes and events are the best way to safely dispose of prescription and over-the-counter medicines that have passed their expiration date or are no longer needed.

Before disposing of prescription medications using a drug take-back option, remove all personal information on the label of pill bottles or medicine packaging. All medicines dropped off at the drug disposal sites will be destroyed and discarded.
