This toll-free, multilingual, and confidential crisis support service is available to all residents in the United States and its territories. Stress, anxiety, and other depression-like symptoms are common reactions after a disaster. Call <strong>1-800-985-5990</strong> or text <strong>TalkWithUs to 66746</strong> to connect with a trained crisis counselor.</p>
<h2>Counseling Services</h2>
<p>The Disaster Distress Helpline puts people in need of counseling on the path to recovery. Our staff members provide counseling and support before, during, and after disasters and refer people to local disaster-related resources for follow-up care and support. Since its launch in February 2012, the Disaster Distress Helpline has provided counseling and support in response to disasters such as <a href="http://162.99.3.214/disasters/hurricane-sandy.aspx">Hurricane Sandy</a>, the Boston Marathon bombing, and the Ebola outbreak.</p>
<p>The Disaster Distress Helpline is staffed by trained counselors from a network of crisis call centers located across the United States. These counselors provide:</p>
<ul><li>Crisis counseling for people in emotional distress related to any natural or human-caused disaster</li>
<li>Information on how to recognize distress and its effects on individuals and families</li>
<li>Tips for healthy coping</li>
<li>Referrals to local crisis call centers for additional follow-up care and support</li>
</ul><p>When you call or text, crisis counselors will listen to what’s on your mind with patience and without judgment. There is no need to give any identifying information when you contact the Disaster Distress Helpline. The counselor may ask you for some basic information at the end of the call, but these questions are optional and are intended to help SAMHSA keep track of the types of calls it receives.</p>

<h2>Call or Text</h2>
<p>From the United States and its territories, call <strong>1-800-985-5990</strong> to connect with a trained crisis counselor, 24/7.<strong> Spanish-speakers can call the hotline and press “2”</strong> for 24/7 bilingual support.</p>
<p><strong>Callers to the hotline can also connect with counselors in over 100 other languages via 3rd-party interpretation services</strong>; to connect with a counselor in your primary language, simply indicate your preferred language to the responding counselor and she/he will connect to a live interpreter (interpretation in less commonly-spoken languages may require calling back at an appointed time). <a href="https://issuu.com/disasterdistresshelpline">Learn more and download information</a> about the Disaster Distress Helpline in 30 of the most commonly-spoken languages in the U.S.</p>
<p>To connect with a live DDH crisis counselor 24/7 via SMS, <strong>from the 50 states text “TalkWithUs” for English or “Hablanos” for Spanish to 66746. Spanish-speakers from Puerto Rico can text “Hablanos” to 1-787-339-2663.</strong></p>
<p>Texting is subscription-based and only involves a few steps:</p>
<ol><li>Enroll in the service by texting <strong>TalkWithUs</strong> or <strong>Hablanos</strong> exactly as written. It’s important to do this before sending your first text message because otherwise the enrollment may fail, and you will not be able to speak with a counselor, or you may accidentally subscribe to another service.</li>
<li>Look for confirmation that your subscription was successful. You will receive a <strong>Success!</strong> message if it was.</li>
<li>To unsubscribe, text <strong>Stop</strong> or <strong>Unsubscribe</strong> to <strong>66746</strong> (or 1-787-339-2663 from Puerto Rico) at any time. For help, text <strong>Help</strong> to <strong>66746</strong> (or 1-787-339-2663 from Puerto Rico).</li>
</ol><p>Standard text and data message rates will apply when texting from mobile phones. International text and data rates may apply from within U.S. territories and free association nations. SAMHSA will not sell your phone numbers to other parties.</p>
<p>The Disaster Distress Helpline’s <strong>TTY number 1-800-846-8517</strong> is available 24/7 to Deaf and hard of hearing individuals, who can also utilize the texting options or their preferred Relay service (including 7-1-1) to connect with the main DDH hotline 1-800-985-5990, 24/7.</p>

<p>	This report and the detailed tables present a first look at results from the 2013 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), an annual survey of the civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the United States aged 12 years old or older. Both the report and detailed tables present national estimates of rates of use, numbers of users, and other measures related to illicit drugs, alcohol, and tobacco products, with a focus on trends between 2012 and 2013 and from 2002 to 2013, as well as differences across population subgroups in 2013. NSDUH national estimates related to mental health and NSDUH State-level estimates related to both substance use and mental health will be published in separate releases in the fall of 2014.<br /><a href="//www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/NSDUHresultsPDFWHTML2013/Web/NSDUHresults2013.pdf" title="Results from the 2013 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: Summary of National Findings">&gt; Read More about Results from the 2013 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: Summary of National Findings</a></p></li>

<p>	This is the first edition of the Behavioral Health Barometer: United States, one of a series of State and national reports that provide a snapshot of the state of behavioral health in the Nation. This national report presents a set of substance use and mental health indicators as measured through data collection efforts sponsored by SAMHSA (the National Survey on Drug Use and Health and the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (the Youth Risk Behavior Survey), and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (the Monitoring the Future survey). Also included are data on the use of mental health and substance use treatment services by Medicare enrollees, as reported by the Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services. This array of indicators provides a unique overview of the Nation's behavioral health at a point in time as well as a mechanism for tracking change and trends over time.<br /><a href="//www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/National_BHBarometer/National_BHBarometer.pdf" title="Behavioral Health Barometer - United States, 2013">&gt; Read More about Behavioral Health Barometer - United States, 2013</a></p></li>

<p>	The NBHQF provides a mechanism to examine and prioritize quality prevention, treatment, and recovery elements at the payer/system/plan, provider/practitioner, and patient/population levels. The NBHQF is aligned with the NQS in that it supports the three broad aims of better care, healthy people/healthy communities, and affordable care. However, it was specifically broadened to include the dissemination of proven interventions and accessible care. The latter concept encompasses affordable care, along with other elements of care accessibility, including the impact of health disparities.<br /><a href="//www.samhsa.gov/data/national-behavioral-health-quality-framework" title="National Behavioral Health Quality Framework">&gt; Read More about National Behavioral Health Quality Framework</a></p></li>
