Terms of use

Educational use only

This site publishes general education about substance use and treatment. Nothing here is medical advice, and reading the site, using the treatment guide, or sending us a message does not create a clinician-patient or any other professional relationship. We are not your treatment provider and cannot advise on your specific situation.

Decisions about withdrawal, medication, and level of care carry real medical risk and belong with a licensed clinician who can review your full history. Several of the substances we write about — alcohol and benzodiazepines in particular — can produce withdrawal that is dangerous without medical supervision.

Not for emergencies

This site is not a crisis service and is not monitored around the clock. If you or someone else may be in danger, call 911. For a mental health or suicide crisis in the United States, call or text 988. For a possible poisoning or overdose, Poison Control is 1-800-222-1222.

Acceptable use

• Do not use the site to transmit unlawful, abusive, or deliberately misleading content.
• Do not attempt to interfere with the site's operation, security, or availability.
• Do not scrape or republish substantial portions of the content without permission.
• Do not present our material as clinical guidance authored by a treatment provider.

Accuracy and change over time

We work to keep this site accurate and current, but clinical guidance, regulations, and phone numbers change, and we cannot guarantee that every detail is up to date at the moment you read it. Verify anything that matters directly with the organization involved or with a clinician.

Intellectual property

Original text and design on this site belong to ZSK Management. Third-party names, logos, and trademarks belong to their owners and appear for identification only.

Third-party links

We link to outside organizations for convenience. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices. Listing an organization, hotline, or resource is not an endorsement or a statement that it is appropriate for your situation.

Limitation of liability

The site is provided on an as-is basis without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or harm arising from use of, or reliance on, information published here.

We may update these terms as the site changes; the date at the top of this page reflects the current version.

Questions about this page can be sent through our contact page. We do not monitor that inbox around the clock, and it is not a crisis line.
