How do I get help if I have a behavioral (mental) health disorder?
You can get help for mental health and drug misuse problems. Help is available 24 hours a day, seven (7) days a week. You must pick a provider from our Behavioral Health Network. These services are private, so you don’t need a referral from your Primary Care Provider (PCP). If you need help call the Behavioral Hotline:
