Services Provided by Beyond Opioids
Beyond Opioids is committed to meeting the civil legal needs of our clients to ensure successful prevention, treatment, and recovery from SUD. We strive to expand and grow our project to be responsive for those needs by diligently pursuing funding opportunities. In the interim, we strategically focus our limited resources to serve those at the highest risk of acquiring SUD, families with the least sources to address active SUD in the household, and those whose successful treatment and recovery is jeopardized because of civil legal barriers.
Our limited resources means establishing a financial eligibility threshold which you can learn about here, prioritizing certain types of civil legal issues, and providing different levels of services depending on the issues you are facing.
