Education, not medical advice
The information on Cope or Die is for general education. It is not a substitute for advice, diagnosis or treatment from a licensed professional who knows you.
In an emergency
Call 911. For a mental health or substance use crisis, call or text 988.
Do not stop medication or substances abruptly
Stopping alcohol, benzodiazepines and some other substances suddenly can be dangerous. Talk to a medical professional first.
How content is written
Pages are written in plain English from public federal sources, including SAMHSA, NIDA, NIMH and the CDC. Clinical review by a licensed professional is part of the launch plan and reviewers will be named on each page.
Peer support
Peers share lived experience. They are not therapists and do not provide clinical care.
Cost tools
The estimator and insurance tools give estimates for education. They are not quotes or guarantees of coverage.
Independence
Cope or Die does not accept payment from treatment programs for referrals, rankings or placement.
