Addiction education and support you can trust.
To understand how to help, you have to know what is needed.
Our approach was born from life experiences. When we learned there was a lack of recovery housing in our state, we worked to develop more. When parents came to us — concerned, confused and needing information — we found trusted sources and authorities we could share. In this section, you’ll find details about those programs and others. Because knowing more and doing more to help those struggling with substance use disorder is better for all of us. You are not alone.

Medical Respite Care
atTAcK addiction is advocating with other nonprofits, government agencies, and medical providers to explore creating a short-term medical respite care center in Delaware for those with a substance use disorder who also are suffering from an acute physical condition (for example, untreated xylazine wounds or uncontrolled diabetes) that would prevent them from being admitted immediately into treatment or recovery services.
Behavioral Health Consortium
The Behavioral Health Consortium is an advisory body that comprises community advocates, law enforcement, health care professionals, and state leaders. It was formed to tackle Delaware’s challenging and complex addiction and mental health issues.
Prescription Opioid Settlement Distribution Commission
The Prescription Opioid Settlement Distribution Commission is charged with determining the most effective use of settlement funds awarded to Delaware. The purpose of this commission is to help the state combat the opioid epidemic through financial support. It will determine who should receive grant awards for efforts to treat, prevent, and reduce opioid use disorder and the misuse of opioids.
