Resources
Trust & Support Library
A schedule is only one small piece of support. These are independent, public resources for people who want help, information or someone to talk to, whether for themselves or someone they care about. We have opened and checked each one.
In crisis right now?
In the United States, call or text 988, or chat at 988lifeline.org. If anyone is in immediate danger, call your local emergency number.
Listing a resource here is not an endorsement by or of it. None of these organisations is affiliated with, or has endorsed, P in the Cup. The resources below are United States services; if you are elsewhere, your national health service can point you to local equivalents.
Talk to someone
Helplines
988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline
Call or text 988, or chat online, to reach a trained counsellor. Available 24/7/365, free and confidential. It is for anyone, including people with emotional distress or alcohol or drug use concerns, and people supporting a friend or loved one.

A free, confidential treatment referral and information service for individuals and families facing mental and/or substance use disorders, open 24/7, 365 days a year, in English and Spanish.

Find care and information
Treatment and family support
FindTreatment.gov
SAMHSA's confidential and anonymous locator for people seeking treatment for mental and substance use disorders in the United States and its territories, including state-licensed treatment for substance use disorders.
SAMHSA: How to help someone
Guidance for people supporting someone with mental health, drug or alcohol issues: how to talk to them about getting help, and how to take care of yourself. As SAMHSA puts it, you can't force someone to get care; being there and listening without judgment matters.
SAMHSA: Find support
A starting point covering how to find a health care professional or program, how to cope, learning about treatment, how to pay for treatment (including free and low-cost options), and getting help now.
Understand home testing
Testing education
FDA: Drugs of Abuse Home Use Test
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's explanation of home urine drug screens: they show whether a drug may be present but not how much; a preliminary positive should be sent to a laboratory for confirmation, with no serious action until that result is known; no test of this type is 100% accurate; and a negative does not rule out drug use.
Our buying education
Panels, analytes, cutoffs, FDA home-use status and the limits of results, in plain language. Educational only; we do not sell tests.
