They are phone lines that people can call when they have a addiction or problem that they think they need to fix and want help with. They are for people that have serious problems with somethings
What Services do they Offer
They offer services that help a person calling to find help such as a alcoholic find help in the area around them. They also may send help to the person even if they said they don't wont help if it is urgent enough.
There are many kinds of hotlines such as:
