I Need Treatment or Detox
One free phone call can get you into detox or treatment — with or without insurance.
Stopping alcohol or benzos suddenly can be dangerous. If you are shaking badly, sweating, confused, or have had seizures before, go to the ER. You deserve medical care.
One call starts everything.
Free screening by phone, 24/7. They connect you to detox and treatment — insurance or not.
