An eye-opening 2,241 Massachusetts residents died of a drug overdose in 2018 alone. That’s more than six people every day. Making matters worse, last year Massachusetts ranked 42nd out of 51 states for access to mental health care. We want to help. The following hotlines are available to all residents of the Bay State, and the last two are available nationally. If you or someone you love needs help, please call whichever hotline is most suitable, and please call today.
