In 2021, more than 1 million Americans called Rhode Island home. Of these, more than 424,000 live in an area without enough mental health professionals. More than 41% of residents reported symptoms of anxiety or depression, making lack of access to care a public health crisis. Even when care is available, cost can be a significant barrier.
A Rhode Island rehab hotline is often the best way to get the help you need. There are several Rhode Island addiction hotlines to help you find available treatment for drug or alcohol addiction, along with crisis lines that provide referrals and assistance with mental health emergencies.
With trained counselors on hand to help with immediate treatment needs when you call a 24-7 hotline, you don’t have to wait until someone’s life is at risk. If you or someone you love is experiencing a mental health crisis or substance use disorder, help is out there.
