Overdose Emergencies

If you or someone you are with has a medical emergency, or you suspect an overdose, dial 911 immediately.  

For a step-by-step guide on how to respond to a drug overdose situation, click here.  

Accidental drug overdose deaths are now the leading cause of death in the United States, exceeding even motor vehicle accidents among people ages 25-64.

The chance of surviving an overdose, like that of surviving a heart attack, depends greatly on how fast one receives medical assistance. Research has demonstrated that most witnesses to a drug overdose fail to call 911 for fear of police involvement.

The state of North Carolina has enacted Good Samaritan legislation to help protect those who call for emergency assistance on behalf of overdose victims.  If you are with someone experiencing a medical emergency, or suspect a drug overdose, dial 911 immediately.

First Contact is located in Henderson County, NC.  We assist individuals and families in Hendersonville and surrounding areas in the WNC region.

WNC Mental Health & Substance Abuse Services

C3@356 Comprehensive Care Center

Anyone who is experiencing behavioral health crisis will be served at C3356, regardless of insurance or financial status. Individuals who come in for routine services (not in crisis) will participate in a screening process to identify their insurance status and to determine eligibility for services.  Medicaid and Medicare are accepted, as well as many other insurance sources.  People of all ages can come to C3356 for crisis services.  Children in crisis will be assessed, receive stabilization and support, and ultimately be referred to a location specializing in children’s services. https://rhahealthservices.org/c3356-comprehensive-care-center/

The Mobile Crisis Management Team (MCM) is available to support a person in crisis who may not be able to come to C3356.

Hendersonville, NC Free Drug & Alcohol Addiction Assistance

First Contact Addiction Ministries provides free support services for addiction & recovery in Hendersonville NC, Henderson County, and Western North Carolina.

Substance abuse & addiction are serious issues, and they are increasing to epidemic proportions within our small, WNC communities. As the crisis grows, local government, hospitals & jails are ill-equipped to meet increased demands for crisis management & rehabilitation.

Every morning, thousands of people in Henderson County wake up to another day controlled by drug and alcohol addiction. For every one of them, an average of five other loved ones are suffering alongside, often in silence.

If you or a loved one are suffering with substance abuse disorders, we can help. We understand how difficult and confusing it can be to navigate the addiction and recovery process. That’s why we offer free education and guidance to assist you.

Our caring community of support is here for you. We provide encouragement and assistance for individuals & families suffering with the trauma associated with substance abuse disorders and addiction.
