?The City of Boston has a robust system of care for individuals, families, and communities affected by substance abuse. At the Boston Public Health Commission, we work to make sure this system is as easy to navigate as possible for those that need our support. In partnership with an excellent network of community-based providers throughout the city, we offer programs and resources aimed at preventing addictions and supporting the treatment and recovery of those impacted by substance abuse.We led the way in making Narcan, a drug used to reverse opiate overdoses, accessible to bystanders, saving hundreds of lives. We pioneered a needle exchange program to reduce risks for active users.  We worked with the Boston Police Department and community partners to install drug take back kiosks at police stations that allow people to anonymously dispose of unused medications so that they aren’t misused.  And our outpatient and residential treatment programs serve clients with a diverse set of needs in multiple languages.We are committed to helping you and your loved ones navigate the road to recovery.  Browse this site to find out more about available services and resources
