SAMHSA’s Treatment Referral Hotline, also known as SAMHSA’s National Helpline, is a free, confidential, 24/7 service that helps people find treatment and support for mental health and substance use disorders in the United States.
Operated by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the hotline connects individuals and family members to local treatment facilities, support groups, and community-based organizations. Trained specialists provide information, referrals, and guidance in English and Spanish, and the service is available 365 days a year.
The hotline can be reached by calling 1‑800‑662‑HELP (4357). It does not provide counseling or emergency services but serves as a trusted starting point for people seeking help, understanding treatment options, or accessing low-cost and state-funded care.
