New Substance Use Disorders and Mental Health Resource Guide Available for Livingston County

The Livingston County Human Services Collaborative (HSCB) is comprised of a membership that work together to coordinate health and human services across systems with a mission of Ensuring a system of support for members of our community.

To this end, the Substance Use Disorder Treatment and Prevention Workgroup and the Mental Health Awareness Workgroup of the HSCB recently partnered to create a new resource guide for Livingston County, focusing on substance use disorders and mental health. An updated resource guide was a priority for these workgroups after learning there were a total of 24 people who died by overdose and 28 people who died by suicide in Livingston County in 2022. Substance use issues commonly co-occur with mental health issues, but it is important for our community to know that help is available locally for anyone who may be struggling.

This comprehensive 45-page guide provides contact information for a wide variety of substance use disorder and mental health providers. Additionally, it offers tips on accessing treatment for the first time and information about accessing care for those without health insurance.

The resource guide can be found here: https://milivcounty.gov/wp-content/uploads/Final-SUD-MH-Resource-Guide.pdf

The HSCB has additional resources specific to Livingston County. These can be found here.
