Frequently Asked Questions About Addiction Help for Families
What is the best number to call for addiction help for families? It depends on the situation. Call 911 for any overdose or medical emergency. Call or text 988 for a suicidal, mental health, or substance use crisis. Call SAMHSA at 1-800-662-4357 for free treatment referrals. Call a Certified Intervention Professional when your loved one refuses help.
Is the SAMHSA National Helpline free? Yes. SAMHSA’s National Helpline is free, confidential, and available 24/7, 365 days a year, in English and Spanish. No insurance is needed to call.
Can I call 988 for a drug or alcohol crisis? Yes. The 988 Lifeline responds to suicidal, mental health, and substance use crises. You can call for yourself or for someone you love.
Will I get in trouble for calling 911 during an overdose? Nearly every state has an overdose Good Samaritan law that offers certain protections to people who call for help. Protections vary by state. Always make the call first.
Can I buy naloxone without a prescription? Yes. Naloxone nasal spray has been available over the counter since 2023. Many health departments and community programs also provide it free.
What is the difference between a hotline and an interventionist? A hotline offers immediate support and referrals. A professional interventionist assesses your situation, unites and prepares your family, arranges treatment in advance, leads the intervention, and supports the family afterward.
When should a family hire a professional interventionist? Hire one when your loved one refuses treatment, when the family can’t agree on a plan, or when risks like overdose, relapse, or mental health concerns keep rising.
Does Addiction Treatment Group work outside the East Coast? Yes. Jim Reidy, CIP #10266, provides intervention services for families nationwide, and every call is confidential.
