One step to bring Oklahoma out of meth’s darkness

2-1-1 Oklahoma will serve as the hub for the anti-meth documentary "Crystal Darkness,” which is scheduled to air tonight.

"We are pleased to have the resources and capacity to support such an important effort that affects our families and children across the state,” said Lori Linstead, 2-1-1 Oklahoma state director.

Across the state, 2-1-1 centers will be taking calls. Drug recovery and prevention experts, law enforcement and community volunteers will staff phone lines, along with 2-1-1 referral specialists. One phone call made to the 2-1-1 phone line can put a caller in touch with any local community service needed — whether public or private. The free call to the center ensures a caller can reach a specialist for a referral 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

• The documentary also will air at 6:30 tonight on Oklahoma television stations. A Spanish version is scheduled to air at 6 p.m. on Telemundo and at 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. on Univision.

• Volunteers have organized more than 250 watch parties in Oklahoma. The official watch party is scheduled for 6 tonight at the Cox Convention Center in Oklahoma City. Counselors, state agencies and other resources will be available.

• A searchable database of watch parties throughout Oklahoma is available at www.crystaldarknessoklahoma.org.
