1. Information Only — Not Medical Advice

Always seek the advice of a qualified healthcare professional with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition, substance use disorder, or treatment options. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking treatment because of something you read on this Website or heard during a call.

2. Hotline Numbers — Informational Purposes

The phone numbers listed on this Website, including our own hotline number (213) 277-7446 and third-party hotline numbers, are provided for informational and referral purposes. We make every effort to verify that listed numbers are accurate, active, and operational. However, we cannot guarantee the availability, accuracy, or quality of service provided by any third-party hotline or organization.

Third-party hotlines and organizations listed on this Website operate independently from the Los Angeles Addiction Hotline. Their inclusion on our site does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or guarantee of the quality of their services.

We encourage all individuals to conduct their own research, verify licensing and accreditation, and consult with healthcare professionals before selecting a treatment provider. The decision to pursue any form of treatment is entirely your own and should be made in consultation with qualified medical professionals.
