Our Services
Coaches make every attempt to immediately connect with those who have experienced an overdose to provide support and resources. If they are unable to connect with an individual over the phone, the coach will then send the individual a text message. If it is deemed appropriate, in some cases, the recovery coach will contact emergency services and address any concerns requiring immediate attention.
Review Police Report & WPAR Recovery Coaches are given the Police Report & MC (if available) & phone number, last known address and MC photo or CJIS photo are shared for every referral.
Individuals involved in certain illegal activities are offered treatment as an alternative to arrest and given the opportunity for recovery.
