drug hotline

Substance abuse number

A drug hotline is a telephone service providing information, crisis intervention, or support related to substance use.

Some offer medical guidance for overdoses or adverse reactions; others connect callers to treatment resources or counseling: She called the drug hotline when her brother wouldn't stop using.

The term also covers tip lines for reporting illegal drug activity to authorities.
