Montana Angel Initiative

The Montana Angel Initiative aims to enhance access to substance use treatment and facilitate the entry point for individuals seeking help. This initiative empowers individuals who may be struggling with addiction to visit any participating law enforcement office and receive assistance in finding and connecting with treatment services, without facing consequences or inquiries (with specific limitations). With the endorsement of Governor Gianforte, the initiative is a joint effort involving DPHHS, treatment providers, and law enforcement agencies. 

The current active participating counties in Montana are: Cascade, Lewis & Clark, Carbon, Sweetgrass, and Yellowstone.

Other counties are in the process of receiving training and are expected to join the initiative in the upcoming year.

If you or someone you know requires assistance, contact information for participating counties can be accessed by selecting the respective county on the provided map.

For more information contact angelinitiative@mt.gov .
