Starting today, NorCo’s Department of Human Services has added add an alphanumeric phone number to make it easier for residents to access the drug and alcohol emergency line: 610-829-HELP (4357). The old number, 610-829-4725 will still be functional.
“It is the job of local government to make services available for residents who need them,” says Lamont McClure. “Using an alphanumeric phone number will make it easier for the public to access our services and will help save lives.”
The emergency line will be open during business hours (8:00 AM to 5:00 PM), Monday through Friday. The line will give callers the option to be connected to Northampton County Emergency Services Unit, to get information about accessing drug and alcohol treatment, or to be connected to the Human Services Information and Referral Unit.
The County’s Emergency Services Crisis line (610-252-9060) is available on a 24 hour basis.
