Free, confidential, 24/7 information and referral for mental health and substance use treatment.

1-800-662-HELP (4357) is the helpline to call when the problem is not an immediate crisis but the next step is unclear: getting into ongoing care, finding low-cost options, or understanding what insurance will cover.
It is operated by SAMHSA, available in English and Spanish, and does not require insurance to use.
