Substance Abuse Hotlines for Idaho Residents
Struggling with substance use disorder or mental health issues is serious, but sometimes you just need a listening ear. Idaho has several confidential hotlines you can call to speak with someone who knows what you may be going through.
Idaho Careline from the Idaho Department of Health
The first number you could dial for help locating resources for substance use and mental health issues is the Idaho Careline. All you have to do is dial 211 or text your zip code to 898211. The friendly voice on the other end of the line is an experienced crisis counselor who can provide access to resources.
The Idaho Careline is free to access and is operated by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. All of the resources it connects you with are free or low-cost health, human services, or social services programs. This eliminates barriers to entry and allows you to seek help right away.
North Idaho Crisis Center for Community Resources
Another place where you might be able to take the first steps to receive treatment is the North Idaho Crisis Center. Crisis intervention specialists allow you the space to work through difficult emotions and issues stemming from substance abuse.
When you feel ready to receive treatment, they can connect you with a variety of resources specifically for Idaho residents. For example, they can provide access to help with food, utilities, and housing. They can also assist you in locating outpatient treatment centers or even rehabs to kickstart lasting recovery.

988 Suicide and Crisis Hotline
Perhaps the most well-known resource for someone struggling with substance abuse is the 988 Suicide and Crisis Hotline. They help with more than just suicidal thoughts, despite the name. They also assist with a variety of mental health concerns, substance use disorders, and relationship problems.
It’s a confidential place where you can confide your feelings to a trained crisis counselor. They can help you take the next steps to get involved in substance abuse treatment and talk with you about the things that might be holding you back.
They might also be able to offer a mobile response team that can come to see you in person. These teams are comprised of behavioral health professionals who can ensure your safety and help you locate the resources you need to ensure your welfare.

Emergency Services for Opioid Overdoses
Of course, these recovery support services are not intended for emergencies. If you or a loved one has already taken an opioid overdose, you need to reach out to emergency medical services via 911. This is potentially a life-or-death situation, and you will need the care of a team of medical professionals.
It’s also important to have access to naloxone if you know someone who has a substance use disorder. Having access to this medical treatment could save a life while waiting for an ambulance. The Eastern Idaho Public Health Department can direct you to places to obtain naloxone.
Keep in mind that even if you have naloxone, you should still call 911 for someone who has overdosed on drugs.

FAQs About The Idaho Substance Abuse Hotline
What is a substance abuse hotline?
A substance abuse hotline is a phone-based resource that can help people ask questions, discuss treatment options, and understand possible next steps for addiction or co-occurring mental health concerns. A hotline is not a substitute for emergency medical care, but it can help someone begin the admissions or referral process.
When should I call a substance abuse hotline in Idaho?
You should call if substance use is affecting your health, safety, relationships, work, school, or ability to stop on your own. You can also call if you are worried about a loved one. If someone is in immediate danger, experiencing overdose symptoms, or medically unstable, call 911.
Can a hotline help me find the right level of care?
A hotline or admissions call can help explain treatment options such as residential care, PHP, IOP, outpatient treatment, dual diagnosis care, or referral options. The final level-of-care recommendation should be based on a clinical assessment, substance use history, withdrawal risk, safety needs, and mental health symptoms.
Can I call about insurance before starting treatment?
Yes. The Admissions team at Icarus Wellness and Recovery can help review insurance benefits before treatment begins. Coverage depends on your plan, benefits, medical necessity, authorization requirements, deductible, copay, coinsurance, and payer rules. Verification can help estimate benefits, but does not guarantee approval or payment.
What should I do during a mental health or substance use crisis?
If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911. For emotional distress, suicidal thoughts, or crisis support, call or text 988. If the situation is not an emergency, a substance abuse hotline or admissions team can help discuss treatment options and possible next steps. (SAMHSA)
