Find Help

If the person is in need of immediate medical attention or pose a threat to themselves or others contact medical and law enforcement services by calling 911. A person's medical condition takes priority over mental health or chemical dependency treatment. Law enforcement is allowed to take a person into custody for treatment and is trained in emergency commitment procedures.

If the person does not need immediate medical attention and does not pose a threat to themselves or others there are a number of options available, such as employee assistance programs through their or your employer or entering a local treatment facility.
