Opioid and substance abuse resources

In early 2022, Supervisor Lee and Supervisor Ellenberg called on the County of Santa Clara to declare a public health crisis for our mental health and substance use. This declaration has allowed the County to make larger investments into our mental health and wellness, along with the growing rates of substance use. We are thankful to our Behavioral Health Services Department for stepping up services and care to address the needs of our community. The following is a collection of resources and information about opioids and substance use.  

Please dial 9-1-1 for an emergency or dial 9-8-8 for our dedicated mental health line.
