Milton Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition offers Interface Referral Service

A new free and confidential mental health and substance use referral call line is now available to Milton residents.

Milton residents now have access to a free and confidential telephone Helpline when they are in need of professional help for a mental health, substance use or other behavioral health disorder. Thanks to generous donations from a variety of public and private organizations, you and your families can now contact a trained counselor at Interface Referral Service who can help you find a therapist to meet your needs and inform you of your insurance options. Interface has created a database of licensed professionals who can address a variety of mental health concerns for both children and adults. Anxiety, depression, substance use, marital problems and eating disorders are just some of the issues they address.

To contact the Interface Referral Service, call 888-244-6843 Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m., and speak with a trained counselor who can help you navigate a complicated mental health system. All conversations are highly confidential.

In addition to the public and private organizations that made this opportunity possible, the Milton Health Department, Milton Police Department, Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital-Milton, the Milton Woman’s Club, the Milton Junior Woman’s Club as well as the Milton Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition also had roles in making this possible.
