Peer support has limits—and those limits matter.

Brave Harbor is not

• Psychotherapy, medical treatment, detoxification, or emergency care
• A substitute for a licensed clinician, physician, or substance-use treatment provider
• A service that diagnoses conditions or recommends medication changes
• A guarantee of recovery outcomes

When to seek immediate help

Call emergency services when there is immediate danger, a medical emergency, a suspected overdose, severe withdrawal, or a threat of harm. In the United States and its territories, call or text 988 for crisis support. For treatment options, use the official FindTreatment.gov locator or speak with a qualified professional.

Using Brave Harbor responsibly

Choose the level of support appropriate to your situation. Peer support can be valuable, but higher-risk situations may require clinical assessment, supervised withdrawal management, medication, or a structured treatment setting.
