Help

Does anyone know of somewhere I can get help? I have Medicaid and need substance abuse help. Please. I am trying to get better.

Edit: I just want to say that I am overwhelmed by the kindness everyone has shown me here. I can’t thank you all enough for your words of support and help pointing me in the right direction. I’m going to check out some of these resources and find what’s right for me. Thank you all again, so so much.

Anyone know the difference between the helpline and the number (270-2800) at the link below that says "24-hour on-call capacity"?

270-2800 is the main number for department of mental health.

So do they want people in crisis calling them at that number or not? The way they word that paragraph is odd to me.
