Mental Health and Substance Abuse Crisis

Getting help can be hard.

So we made it easier.

The mental health professionals on the other end of the line are here to help guide you.

Call the Lifeline

It all starts when you call 988. You'll be connected to a mental health professional to talk you through what's going on and get the resources you need for either yourself or your loved one. About 80% of the time, things can get sorted out with just a phone call. But if you need more help, we got you.

Step 1

Connect With a mobile Crisis Team

If you or your loved one need more help after your initial phone call, the 988 call center will send a mobile crisis team to assess things and intervene if necessary. About 7 in 10 crises can be resolved at this touchpoint.

Step 2

Get Transportation

Some people need more in-depth care. If this is the case, transportation will be provided to help Oklahomans in need safely arrive at an Urgent Care and Crisis Center. In metro areas, transportation will be provided by law enforcement. If the closest center is more than 30 miles away, we'll connect you with a private transportation service to get you the help you need.

Step 3

Check In at an Urgent Care and Crisis Center

For those of us that need higher touch help, an Urgent Care and Crisis Center has your back. These centers are staffed 24/7/365 with licensed local medical professionals, nurses, and peers who have been through it themselves. Every center accepts both drop-offs from first responders and walk-ins.

Step 2

Follow-Up Appointments

At any point in your journey, the 988 call center can help set up a same-day or next-day appointment with your closest mental health provider. You might see a provider to begin therapy, start a medication, or in a small number of cases, receive inpatient treatment. 988 has this relationship with every Community Mental Health, Community Behavioral Health, and Comprehensive Community Addiction Recovery Center in the state of Oklahoma.
