Follow-up care for drug overdose after emergency treatment
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to help people who come to the emergency room after using drugs (not alcohol) get connected to addiction services. If you've recently used drugs and are treated in the ER, this program may help you get support and follow-up care to reduce future risks.
