Crisis Resources in Atlanta, Georgia
When addiction reaches a crisis point, knowing where to turn can save a life. Atlanta has local and national crisis resources available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Crisis Hotlines
If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911. For crisis support: Georgia Crisis and Access Line at 1-800-715-4225 provides 24/7 statewide crisis intervention and referrals. The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is available by calling or texting 988. SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357 provides free referrals 24/7. Grady Health System Behavioral Health at (404) 616-4991 provides local crisis services.
Overdose Response
If you suspect an opioid overdose — slow or stopped breathing, blue lips, unresponsiveness, pinpoint pupils — call 911 immediately. Administer naloxone (Narcan) if available. Place the person on their side. Stay with them until emergency services arrive. Georgia's Medical Amnesty Law provides limited legal protections for people who call 911 to report an overdose.
Intervention Services
When someone you love is struggling with addiction and refusing help, a professional intervention may be the catalyst for change. Professional interventionists guide families through a structured, compassionate process that presents consequences of continued use while offering a clear path to treatment.
Family Support and Resources
Addiction affects the entire family. Al-Anon and Nar-Anon meetings in Atlanta provide support for family members. Family therapy during treatment helps repair relationships. Call (678) 257-3133 to discuss family support options.
