Police Departments Helping Addicts

Julian Callahan <quitheroin8@gmail.com> 

Hello! 

My name is Julian and I'm emailing you on behalf of QuitHeroin.com, a website dedicated to helping individuals beat their heroin addictions. In this day and age, more and more people are struggling with Heroin Addiction than ever and Police Departments and Fire Departments are on the front lines seeing the terrible scenarios heroin addiction can produce.

We saw that some Police Departments are coming up with their own programs and protocols to help combat heroin addiction and wrote an article about it. You can see it here: http://www.quitheroin.com/new-initiatives-help-addicts-receive-treatment-police-departments/

If you could help us spread this message by sharing or linking to this article we can help how others all the good our Police Departments are doing for our communities. 

Thank you,

Dear Joseph, Today is International Overdose Awareness Day and for far too many families, it is a day of grief. Join us as we honor the lives that have been lost and remember the families who are missing someone they dearly loved today. Our community of other parents and caregivers, who have experienced the same pain and loss, can provide a source of comfort and support. By creating a memorial page, you can commemorate a loved one’s life and provide a personal space where family and friends can share their encouragement and leave messages of hope. We are committed to ending the opioid epidemic and empowering families with resources and support to help their family heal. Together, let’s continue to raise awareness, educate caregivers, remember those we have lost and provide hope for the future. Thank you for being a part of our mission to ensure every family gets the help they need and deserve.
