Community resources are services and supports you can use in everyday life: clinical care, recovery peers, food assistance, housing navigation, transportation, employment help, and more. Continuing care is the ongoing professional care that follows your needs and goals over time. A practical plan connects these supports without assuming that one service can do everything.
This lesson teaches a resource-finding process: name the need, choose an appropriate starting point, verify access, and decide what happens if the first referral does not work. A directory entry is a lead, not a confirmed appointment or a guarantee of eligibility.
For example, a ride service may help you reach therapy, but it does not provide therapy. A peer meeting can support connection, but it does not replace a prescriber.
These are starting points checked for this lesson on October 17, 2026. Services, eligibility, hours, and openings can change. Contact the provider directly before traveling or relying on a listing.
Outside the United States, ask a local health service or community agency for the corresponding resources. This page does not arrange referrals or submit requests on your behalf.
Share sensitive information through a verified service’s appropriate process. Ask why information is needed, who can access it, and what consent is required for records to move between providers.
Fictional example: Rowan has a therapy appointment next week but no transport. A resource directory lists transportation assistance. Rowan asks whether the service covers the appointment’s location, whether advance booking is needed, what the cost is, and whether the return trip is included. When that option is unavailable, Rowan asks the clinic’s coordinator about alternatives and tells the therapist about the barrier.
When was the transport need solved? It was not solved by finding the listing. The plan needs a usable, confirmed option or an agreed alternative. An unavailable service is a resource gap to address, not a personal failure.
This optional worksheet is unscored and does not request services. Use brief, nonidentifying notes; keep application documents and sensitive identifiers out of the fields. Answers are not submitted to Alpine and may be lost when you leave or refresh. Print or save only where you can protect your privacy.
For symptoms, increasing substance use or urges, medication problems, or withdrawal questions, contact qualified health care. Ask the current team who will help until a new provider takes over. A community directory, online contact form, or admissions call should not delay urgent evaluation.
For suspected overdose, trouble breathing, seizures, severe confusion, chest pain, or immediate danger, call 911. If opioid overdose is suspected, give naloxone if available while emergency help is called. Possible alcohol or benzodiazepine withdrawal needs prompt medical guidance rather than a self-directed detox plan.
Alpine serves adults age 18 and older. Its detox support is social and nonmedical; it does not provide medical detox, medication-assisted treatment, or 24-hour nursing. Admissions can clarify available services and referral options. Outside services listed here are independent, and availability must be confirmed.
A community resource may meet a practical, social, or clinical need. Continuing care is ongoing professional care that follows your needs over time. Identify which function each service provides.
In the United States, SAMHSA’s FindTreatment.gov is an official starting point for substance use and mental health treatment searches. Confirm services, openings, cost, and suitability directly with a provider.
In Utah, 211 Utah provides community resource navigation and county-based search options. Elsewhere in the United States, local 211 services may help identify resources. Check current service areas, hours, and eligibility.
No. A listing is a lead. Ask the service about eligibility, current openings, costs, documents, and the actual next step before relying on it.
A recovery meeting may provide valuable connection and shared experience. It does not automatically replace clinical assessment, therapy, prescribing, or medical care.
Ask why, request another appropriate option, and tell the referring team about the gap. Clarify who will follow up and what to do while waiting.
No. Keep sensitive identifiers and application documents out of these fields. Use a verified service’s appropriate process and ask about privacy and consent before sharing records.
A directory is not emergency care. For suspected overdose, trouble breathing, seizures, severe confusion, chest pain, or immediate danger, call 911. Do not wait for an online form response.
This original lesson teaches navigation skills. It does not endorse every listing, establish eligibility, or promise a service or outcome.
