Service referrals

Recovery is a journey.

We meet you along the way

There is a spectrum of services available in Vermont that can help you stay safe, get treatment, and support your recovery. The Hopeline will help you find the services that are right for you and connect you to them through your local Behavioral Health Resource Networks, or BHRNs.

BHRNs are networks of community-based organizations that provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive services to people seeking treatment and support for substance use concerns. The services they provide include screening for substance use disorder, substance use disorder treatment, harm reduction services, and peer support services. They also screen for health and social service needs, including housing support. Each county and Tribal area in Oregon has at least one BHRN.

Harm reduction saves lives while honoring dignity and wellbeing of every person. These services keep people who use drugs, like fentanyl or alcohol, safe by offering non-judgmental care that imposes their quality of life and health, prevents and manages injury and disease, and prevents fatal overdoses.

Treatment for substance use disorder can look different for everyone. It may combine medical care, like supporting people through withdrawal symptoms or starting medication that helps with cravings, with services that help you learn coping skills.

Treatment can take place in an inpatient or outpatient setting, and you and your treatment provider decide together what kind of treatment is right for you.

Being in recovery means making changes over time that can help you feel better, live life on your own terms, and work toward reaching your goals.

Recovery looks different for everyone and might include medication-assisted treatment, self-help or support groups, recovery coaching, or being part of recovery communities.

A person’s recovery is best supported when they have everything they need to live well.

In addition to substance use services, services like housing support, employment assistance, and food insecurity services are also available.
