Finding Treatment
Is this directory free to use?
Yes. Searching, comparing programs, and contacting facilities is free for anyone looking for treatment, for themselves or for someone else. The site is funded by advertising from licensed treatment providers, and paid placements are always labeled.
How do I find a treatment center near me?
Search by city, state, ZIP code, or facility name, then narrow the results by level of care, the substance or condition treated, and the insurance or payment option you plan to use. You can also browse treatment by state and city, or by type of program.
What's the difference between detox, inpatient, and outpatient treatment?
Medical detox helps a person stop using alcohol or drugs safely under medical supervision, usually over several days. Inpatient or residential programs provide treatment and a place to stay around the clock. Partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs offer structured treatment several days a week while you live at home, and standard outpatient care involves fewer hours, such as weekly therapy. A doctor or licensed clinician can assess which level of care fits your situation.
How do I choose the right program?
Start with the level of care a doctor or clinician recommends. Then compare programs on the conditions they treat, the therapies they offer, their license and accreditation, cost and insurance, and location. Call a few programs and ask how they build treatment plans, who provides care, and what support they offer after discharge.
Can I find treatment for mental health conditions, not just addiction?
Yes. The directory includes programs that treat mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and trauma, as well as programs that treat substance use and mental health conditions together, often called dual diagnosis treatment.
Listings, Labels, and Reviews
Are you a treatment provider?
No. We're an independent directory and information service. We don't provide treatment, medical advice, diagnosis, or referrals, and being listed on our site isn't an endorsement of a facility.
How do you check the facilities you list?
Our team reviews every listing before it's published. Facilities can claim their free listing to keep it up to date, and Verified listings have been confirmed directly with the facility, including its state license, and show the date of that check. Services and openings can change between reviews, so call the facility to confirm before you go.
What do the Listed, Claimed, Verified, and Featured labels mean?
Listed means our team compiled and reviewed the information, but the facility hasn't claimed the listing yet. Claimed means a confirmed representative of the facility manages it. Verified means our team confirmed the details directly with the facility, and the check is renewed every 12 months. Featured marks a paid placement. Paid placements are always labeled.
How are search results ordered?
Featured listings appear first in the areas they advertise in. After them, results are ordered by verification status, then by rating and number of reviews. Advertising never changes a facility's rating or reviews.
How do reviews work?
Reviews come from former clients, family members, and professionals who know a program. Each review is confirmed by email and read by our team before it's published, and we never remove reviews because a facility asks or pays us to. A star rating appears once a listing has at least three published reviews.
What if a listing has wrong or outdated information?
Use the "Suggest an edit" link on the listing, or the listing request form on our Claim page. You don't need to work at the facility to report outdated information, and our team reviews every report.
Contacting a Facility
Who answers when I call a number on your site?
The phone number on a facility's listing belongs to that facility. In some areas, a treatment provider sponsors the helpline number in our "Get Help" buttons. When it does, the provider's name is shown next to the number and calls go directly to that provider; we don't answer or transfer them.
Do facilities pay you for calls or admissions?
No. Advertisers pay a flat monthly fee for enhanced listings and placements. We don't charge per call, per lead, or per admission, and we don't receive referral fees or commissions.
Are calls recorded?
We don't record calls. Some numbers are tracking numbers that let us count calls for advertisers, and we don't keep callers' full phone numbers. The facility you speak with may keep its own records.
What should I ask when I call a treatment center?
Ask whether they treat your specific situation, which levels of care they offer, whether they take your insurance and what you would pay out of pocket, how soon you could start, and what support they offer after the program ends. It also helps to ask about their state license and accreditation.
Paying for Treatment
Does insurance cover addiction and mental health treatment?
Most health plans cover some addiction and mental health treatment. Plans sold on the Health Insurance Marketplace must cover mental health and substance use disorder services, and federal parity law generally requires plans that offer these benefits to cover them on terms comparable to medical care. What's covered and what you'll pay depend on your plan, so confirm with your insurer and the facility.
How can I tell if a facility takes my insurance?
Filter your search by insurance carrier, or check the Insurance and Payment section of a listing. Where we can, we show where that information came from, such as the facility's own website or the insurer's provider directory. Coverage can change, so confirm with the facility and your insurer before treatment starts.
What if I don't have insurance?
Many programs accept Medicaid, Medicare, or self-pay, and some offer sliding-scale fees, financing, or free or state-funded treatment. Use the payment filters in the search to find these programs. SAMHSA's National Helpline, 1-800-662-4357, can also help you find low-cost treatment in your area.
Your Privacy
Do you sell or share my personal information?
No. We don't sell personal information or share it for targeted advertising. You can record an opt-out at any time on our Your Privacy Choices page, and we honor Global Privacy Control signals from your browser.
Do I need an account to search?
No. You don't need an account, and we don't ask for your name or health information to search the directory. To show treatment near you, we estimate your approximate location from your IP address using a database on our own servers, and you can change or clear that location at any time.
For Treatment Providers
How do I claim or add my facility's listing?
Claiming and adding a listing are free. Search for your facility on our Claim page and confirm you work there; access is instant with an email address at your facility's website domain. If your facility isn't listed yet, use the request form on the same page.
How can my facility advertise?
Licensed treatment providers that meet our advertiser requirements can choose a Verified, Spotlight, or Premier plan for a flat monthly fee. See Advertise With Us for plans and pricing, and our Advertising Policy for the requirements.
