Someone To Call When You Need It Most
Mental health crises happen all the time. Unfortunately, most people think there’s only one number to call: 911. While the emergency responders dispatched by a 911 call may be trained in mental health emergencies, their primary focus is on physical health.
If you want to get the support of an expert team of mental health professionals who will approach your situation with compassion, we’re here. Hollywood Addiction Center has established a 24/7 emergency crisis line so that you have someone to call when you need it most.
