Wendy Williams Launches Substance Abuse Hotline

The 24-hour hotline will be fully staffed by specially trained certified recovery coaches who will conduct assessments and match callers with lists of treatment facilities including detox, rehabilitation, sober living and outpatient centers throughout the country.  The intake process will also include an evaluation on the level of care needed, the drugs or substances being used, as well as financial circumstances, to match the patient with facilities that may accept Medicaid, self-pay or private insurance.

Williams said: “We must all come together to respond to this crisis of addiction and substance abuse. Everyone is at risk from the inner cities to more affluent communities. My family and I are very proud to partner with T.R.U.S.T. to get people the help that they so desperately need, especially if they or their families have given up hope. There is hope.”

President of T.R.U.S.T. said, “We are pleased to partner with The Hunter Foundation to help spread the message that there is hope and recovery can work!

If you or someone you know is in need of help, please contact the SAMHSA substance abuse helpline at 1-800-662-HELP.
