If you are struggling with substance abuse and you just
don’t know where to turn, I am the person who can help you
anonymously. I help you utilize article 19.9 which states if
you come to me voluntarily, I can get your time covered
should you need to go to a 30-day treatment facility. I am
also on the I.A.F.F Peer support team and am here even if
it is just to talk.
