addiction hotline

Dependency support call

An addiction hotline is a phone service providing support, information, or crisis intervention for people struggling with substance abuse or behavioral addictions.

Callers can speak with counselors anonymously, often 24 hours a day: She finally called an addiction hotline after her third relapse.

Some hotlines connect callers to treatment facilities or local resources.
