We have all spotted people doing crazy and dangerous things while they're driving that puts everyone's life in danger. We have probably all seen young people as well as adult's doing things while they're operating a motor vehicle that are risky and unsafe like; drinking alcohol, texting, yacking on the phone, arguing with their kids, putting on makeup, reading, messing with their iPad and even men shaving which I have seen myself.

Unbelievably a Dayton police officer arrested 2 women ages 25 and 36 pending felony drug possession charges according to daytonadailynews.com. In the vehicle next to him an officer noticed a woman navigating the car with her knees. The woman had her arms in the air and was "sticking herself with a needle" according to the article. After pulling the women over, the officer found heroin (a gram) and drug paraphernalia in the vehicle and both women were taken into custody. Sadly this probably happens more often than most of us realize.

Where do calls go?

Calls to numbers on a specific treatment center listing will be routed to that treatment center. Calls to any general helpline (non-facility specific 1-8XX numbers) could be forwarded to SAMHSA or a verified treatment provider. Calls are routed based on availability and geographic location.

The Heroin.org helpline is free, private, and confidential. There is no obligation to enter treatment. In some cases, Heroin.org could charge a small cost per call, to a licensed treatment center, a paid advertiser, this allows Heroin.org to offer free resources and information to those in need. We do not receive any commission or fee that is dependent upon which treatment provider a caller chooses.
