Possible overdose or medical emergency
Call 911 now.
If someone is unresponsive, cannot be awakened, is breathing slowly, is having a seizure, or may be overdosing: call 911. Give naloxone if available, keep them breathing, place them on their side, and stay until help arrives.
Emotional distress or substance-use crisis
Connect with the 988 Lifeline.
Free, confidential, judgment-free support by call, text, or chat in the U.S. and its territories. You do not need to be suicidal to reach out.
Privacy note: Confidential does not mean anonymous. 988 typically receives a phone number or chat IP address, and you do not have to provide identifying details. Read 988’s confidentiality statement.
Treatment and referral
Find support that fits your goal.
SAMHSA’s National Helpline offers free, confidential treatment information and referrals in English and Spanish, 24/7. Openings, eligibility, and cost can change.
These numbers are U.S.-specific. Outside the U.S., contact your local emergency number or a verified crisis service in your country. Resource copy checked August 29, 2026.
