Do Drug Hotlines Turn You in to the Police?

Question by Jake D: Do drug hotlines turn you in to the police?
I am 17, and I have an addiction to cocaine. I am starting to crash really really hard right now, and I want to get help. I really do. I am afraid if I call a drug abuse hotline they will turn me in. I can’t have that. I don’t want to go to jail. And I want to have the number blocked, I do not want the police knocking on my door. Can I have an anonymous call?
