It starts with a
phone call. When you or someone you care about is in crisis, it is
hard to know what to do. The Ridge offers free assessments to make
recommendations for treatment–and guide you to the next step. If you–or
someone you care about–needs help with alcohol, drugs or emotional
problems, call The Ridge.
The Ridge accepts referrals 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from
individuals, family members or professionals.
The Ridge accepts payment from Medicare, Medicaid (under the
