Melissa Fitzgerald is an actress and director of strategic engagement for All Rise, founded as the National Association of Drug Court Professionals, a training, membership, and advocacy organization for justice system innovation and reform. These public health and public safety crises are among the paramount social challenges of our time. And of course, we need to develop an ever-growing workforce of licensed addiction treatment providers to deliver services. Treatment courts are a shining example of how the justice system can, and should, provide a public health-oriented response to addiction. This year alone, 4,000 treatment courts will refer 150,000 people to treatment and recovery support.

The three-digit dialing code for the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline became available in July of last year after receiving bipartisan support. Almost one million of those contacts were answered by Veterans Crisis Line, which is linked to 988.

But you don’t need to be in crisis or suicidal to call 988 and speak with a counselor. “It’s our hope that people will come to us before they are in a mental health crisis,” said Tia Dole, chief officer of the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at Vibrant Emotional Health, the New York-based nonprofit that manages the Lifeline for SAMHSA.
