AFTER AN OVERDOSE

Experiencing an overdose or helping anyone through an overdose can be traumatizing and you will benefit from a quick connection to mental health services.

You can reach out to Burrell Behavioral Health’s Crisis Hotline at 1-800-494-7355 to be connected to resources in southwest Missouri. If you are outside southwest Missouri, you can call 988 if you are in mental health crisis following an overdose. 

It is important that the person who experienced the overdose seeks treatment. It is estimated that about 5% of people who are discharged from the hospital after surviving an overdose die within one year. 

 

 

Once you have sought the resources that you need, we would appreciate it if you would provide of with some anonymous information about your situation.
