Opioid Information +Help | Buffalo NY | Opioid Epidemic Family Support

Text (716) 225-5473 for Narcan

We are families who have been affected by the opioid epidemic. We are providing this site to offer assistance with information, resources and direction to those who are struggling with opioid addiction. The family can assist their loved ones by being educated on this disease, learn disease management, be aware of available treatment options and ways to engage those who are in the grips of this addiction.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to support the segments of the Erie County Opioid Epidemic Task Force to deliver improved services to those affected by Substance Use Disorder by fortifying the community response to attain our common goal of eliminating addiction, illness and death from opioid use, to advocate for our loved ones while eradicating this public health crisis from our community and our homes.

show respect for all people
minimize health, legal and social harms associated with substance use
provide comfort and compassion to those affected by Substance Use Disorder
advocate for available, affordable, comprehensive therapeutic services for those affected by Substance Use Disorder
