Terms & Conditions

A legal disclaimer

Mission reminder. Part Of The Solution Nonprofit Inc. (“POTS”) offers free services focused on hope, healing, and community through resources, education, and compassionate support for individuals and families affected by addiction and mental illness.

Not medical, clinical, or legal advice. Information and services provided by POTS—including referrals, education, peer support, and resource navigation—are intended for informational purposes only and should not be used as a substitute for professional diagnosis, treatment, counseling, medical care, or legal advice. POTS does not practice medicine, psychiatry, psychology, therapy, or law; does not prescribe medications; and does not provide detox, inpatient/outpatient treatment, or emergency services.

No provider–patient relationship. Use of POTS services does not create a provider–patient, therapist–client, or attorney–client relationship with POTS or its volunteers/staff.

Referrals and third-party services. POTS may share information about community resources, treatment providers, sober living homes, funding programs, and support groups. Inclusion does not equal endorsement, and POTS makes no warranties about availability, safety, quality, cost, eligibility, insurance coverage, outcomes, or results. You are responsible for evaluating and contracting with any third party.

No guarantees of placement or funding. While we strive to help identify free/low-cost options and possible financial assistance, POTS cannot guarantee admission, approval, coverage, or any particular outcome.

Accuracy and changes. Resource information can change without notice. POTS does not guarantee that listings, schedules, eligibility criteria, or contact details are current, complete, or error-free. We may modify services, materials, and this disclaimer at any time.

Privacy notice (not HIPAA). POTS is generally not a HIPAA-covered entity. We take reasonable measures to safeguard personal information, but communications (including email, text, or web forms) may not be secure. Please share only what is necessary. POTS may be legally required to disclose information to protect someone from imminent harm or to comply with law enforcement or mandatory-reporting laws.

Voluntary participation & assumption of risk. Participation in any POTS activity, event, or referral is voluntary and at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, POTS, its officers, employees, and volunteers are not liable for any damages, losses, or injuries arising from the use of our information, services, or third-party resources.

Crisis and emergencies. POTS is not a crisis hotline. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger or experiencing a medical or mental-health emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. In the U.S., you can also call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Eligibility & minors. Certain services may have age, residency, or other eligibility requirements. Minors should involve a parent/guardian as appropriate and as required by law.

Your consent. By using POTS services, attending events, or relying on our materials, you acknowledge and agree to this disclaimer and to our policies as updated from time to time.
