Looking for help with drug or alcohol use can feel overwhelming, especially when you are not sure where to start. Addiction treatment centers offer different levels of care, from outpatient counseling to residential programs where you live at the facility during treatment. Some programs focus on detox support, others on therapy and relapse prevention, and many combine several approaches.
The right fit depends on things like the substance involved, how long the problem has gone on, your health, your insurance, and whether you need to stay near home or can travel. This site is built to help you sort through those choices step by step, with plain explanations of what each type of care involves and how to compare programs in your area. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 first.
For non-emergency situations, exploring the options here can help you understand what is available before you make a decision.
About This Directory
This directory is a resource for finding addiction treatment programs across the United States. It brings together information about treatment facilities, the services they may offer, and the locations where they operate. National Addiction Treatment Centers publishes this site to make the search process clearer and less stressful.
Because treatment programs vary widely, you will find guides explaining common services, level-of-care differences, and payment questions you may want to ask when contacting a facility. Every program listed should be checked directly with the provider to confirm services, availability, and costs before enrolling.
Types of Care
Treatment is not one-size-fits-all, and the programs you find here reflect that. Inpatient or residential care involves living at a facility for a set period, usually with a structured daily schedule of therapy and support. Outpatient programs let you live at home while attending scheduled sessions, and intensive outpatient programs fall in between, with more hours per week than standard outpatient care.
Some facilities offer medication-assisted treatment, which combines FDA-approved medications with counseling. Detox services help people safely manage withdrawal before longer-term treatment begins. Sober living homes provide supportive housing during or after treatment, and aftercare planning helps maintain progress after a program ends.
The guides explain what each of these services involves, who they tend to suit, and questions worth asking a provider.

How to Use This Directory
A practical way to begin is to decide whether you need something nearby or whether you are open to traveling. From there, look at the type of care that fits the situation, such as detox, residential, outpatient, or medication-assisted treatment, and read the matching guide. When you contact a facility, ask about the specific services you need, whether they accept your insurance, current availability, and what an assessment involves.
Details like hours, staffing, and pricing change often, so treat the information here as a starting point and confirm everything directly with the provider. If you are helping someone else search, involve them as much as possible so the choice reflects what they are willing to commit to.
