ABOUT US

Substance abuse and mental health can be complicated and sometimes difficult conversations to have with a loved one. Most people struggling with substance abuse never have the opportunity to receive treatment. For those who do, it is often only after they have hit rock bottom. It doesn’t have to be this way.

We are experts in providing in-depth information and guidance to families and individuals, helping them to choose the best available path to recovery tailored to their specific needs and circumstances. We serve through Canada and the United States. 

Consultations are FREE, you have nothing to lose. 

As a Not-For-Profit Organization, Our goal is to find our clients affordable and effective solutions. 

At Intervention Hotline Services, we understand the difficulty of accessing essential services for addiction and mental health challenges in Canada due to cost and long wait times. To break down these barriers, we rely on sponsors, grants, and donations, which allow us to provide accessible recovery services regardless of financial circumstances. This help not only eases financial strain but also minimizes wait times so individuals get timely intervention for their condition. These contributions have far-reaching effects beyond individual recoveries; they create a more compassionate society that promotes healing and transformation for everyone. Our sponsors and donors are helping us build a stronger community full of resilience and understanding.

Interested in finding out how you can sponsor a family on their journey. Please do not hesitate to contact us at 1-833-999-9468 to learn how.
