Remote spotting, by & for people who use drugs.
We’re here for you.
If you are using drugs and want safety, connection, or support: call us anytime.
You will not be judged, nor will your use be policed. The only goal Spotline brings is for you to stay alive.
We’re Privacy Friendly
- All calls are confidential
- Your personal information is not required
- Transparent, GDPR-compliant data policy
You’re In Charge
- You pick your own emergency contact(s), which can include 911/EMS but don’t have to.
- If you become unresponsive, we’ll respond according to that plan.
- Calls last until you feel safe to continue your day or night.
How Spotline Works
- Call us at (877)959-SPOT, use the chat button on the website and ask for a spotter, or request spotting via Discord.
- [Optionally] listen to a 3-minute rundown of what the service entails
- Get connected with an operator.
- We’ll ask what you’d like to be called, what you’re using, how you’re using it, and who you’d like us to contact if you become unresponsive.
- We’ll be on the line with you while you use. Conversation is optional, but invited.
Spotting For Everyone
While we’re proud and honored to provide remote spotting services, we also see spotting as an essential harm reduction tool that can and should become commonplace.
(And if you’re already someone who treats people who use drugs with kindness, compassion and respect: you’re most of the way there!)
