Health Provider Resources
Warren County’s primary care providers, dentists, behavioral health clinicians, pharmacists, EMS, and ER staff are on the front lines of substance use and overdose prevention. The coalition exists to make your work easier.
Recognizing substance misuse in patients.
Common signs providers may encounter:
- Frequent emergency visits or requests for prescription refills.
- Physical symptoms of withdrawal or intoxication.
- Injuries that don’t match the explanation given.
- Noticeable decline in physical or mental health.
- Patient or family reports of stress, depression, or anxiety.
Screen early. Validated tools like SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment) help identify risk before it becomes crisis.
