When you call 911, what do you say that makes them send paramedics instead of cops?

What if the emergency is in the area of mental health or intoxication? What gets the person medical help instead of law enforcement?
Yesterday two paramedic vehicles showed up for my neighbor and took her on a gurney in an EMR van. Her sister told me that she was on an alcoholic binge, the latest of far too many, and that she (the sister) and their mother had insisted on treatment. It began with those paramedic teams.
How do you get emergency treatment for alcohol abuse that begins with paramedics and not police?
It was obviously the wrong time for me to be asking the sister such questions.
