Abstract

Called the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, this three‐digit number was launched more than a year ago by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to great fanfare. It appeared to everyone to be mainly for suicide prevention. But it is in fact for every crisis, and substance use is included.
