After-hours crisis line now available at
541-444-8286 or 800-600-5599
Because mental health and relapse
crises do not always happen during busi-
ness hours, Siletz Behavioral Health has
arranged a collaboration with an after-
hours crisis line called Lines for Life.
On weekends and during the weekday
hours of 5 p.m. to 8 a.m., the number to the
Behavioral Health front desk is forwarded
to Lines for Life, where you will be con-
nected with a live mental health counselor.
The counselor will do everything he/she
can to help de-escalate, advise and support.
Afterwards, this information can be
shared with our mental health counselor
so follow-up care can be provided.
Of course, if there is an emergency
and you fear that you or someone else is
in imminent danger, please call 911. That’s
always the fastest way to get help.
