Center for Health Care Services

Texas

Local Mental Health Authority for Bexar County (San Antonio). Free/low-cost care: 24/7 crisis & substance-use helpline (1-800-316-9241 / 210-223-SAFE), adult & children's mental-health treatment, substance-use treatment, IDD services, veteran services, and supportive housing for people experiencing homelessness. Routine appointments 1-833-501-2427; crisis line is free.

The free 24/7 crisis line is anonymous — call without giving your name or immigration status. Ongoing care falls under health treatment, meaning your health information is confidential, and cost is based on what you can pay. It is not connected to immigration enforcement, especially for remote (not in person) care. In general, you aren't asked immigration status for crisis support or locally-funded services. If this is a concern, ask — or have someone else call and ask — beforehand.
