Emergency Services Program Contact Information

The statewide Emergency Services Program (ESP) provides 24/7/365 crisis help – without you having to go to a hospital emergency room.

Am I eligible to receive these crisis services?
Services are provided at no cost to those with MassHealth (Medicaid), Medicare, or people without health insurance. Some people with commercial insurance can also get these services. Call your local crisis team to learn more. Local numbers are listed below. 

How does it work?
If you or a loved one are experiencing a behavioral health crisis, help is a phone call away. Call your local crisis team using the information on the back of this flyer. You’ll talk to a behavioral health professional who can help you. They will work with you to determine the best plan for your unique situation. A team member may come meet you where you are – at your home, a hospital, or another location in the community. Some teams also have walk-in locations you can visit - view a detailed directory of walk-in locations/service centers.

Don’t face a crisis alone. Call the Emergency Services Program at 1-877-382-1609 or call your local program (numbers listed below).
