Gov. Maggie Hassan announced today that New Hampshire residents struggling with heroin addiction and other substance use disorders will soon be able to call a 24-hour crisis hotline for help.

The line will be open later this week. The number has not yet been released. The hotline was announced by Gov. Hassan today at a summit on substance abuse.

The conference is in Manchester and over 800 people are there from health care, law enforcement, education and other fields.

As soon as the 24-hour crisis hot line number is released, we'll get it out there.
