The Digital Overdose Response System (DORS) app allows Albertans* using opioids or other substances to summon emergency response to their location if they become unconscious.

The DORS app also provides information on national and provincial addiction recovery supports and services, such as the Addiction Helpline, helping ensure people have the information they need to move towards their journey to recovery.
