Are you or a loved one struggling with substance abuse, such as drugs or alcohol? Hotline support is available in Taiwan

Substance abuse – such as drug and alcohol addiction – affects millions of people and their loved ones each year. While the impact of substance use disorders and substance-related problems can be devastating, help is available and recovery is possible. Take the first step and reach out to one of 3 hotlines in Taiwan if you relate to these symptoms:

• Sleeping at strange hours of the day or night.
• Feeling an urge to use drugs, alcohol or other substances regularly.
• Using substances as a way to relieve negative or uncomfortable emotions.
• Obsessive thinking about using drugs or alcohol that makes it hard to focus on anything else.
• Spending money on drugs or alcohol despite it being unaffordable.
• Spending a lot of time recovering from drugs, alcohol, or other substances.
