Find a licensed treatment center.

About this directory

All 21,568 listings here come from the SAMHSA federal registry, re-synced monthly, with phone numbers re-verified every quarter. The four takeaways below summarise what the directory does and does not promise:

Every center in our 21,568-facility directory starts as a record in the SAMHSA Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator — the federal registry of licensed addiction and mental-health programs in the United States. We sync that source monthly, carry over each facility’s address, phone, level-of-care, accepted insurance, and accreditation, and then layer our own review on top. The 17,316 facilities with verified geographic coordinates are additionally cross-checked against Google Business records so that the addresses you see match what a taxi or rideshare driver would actually find.

What “Verified” means on each card

The green “Verified” badge on a facility card means three specific things. First, the center is currently active in SAMHSA’s locator — removed listings drop off within one sync cycle, usually within 30 days of the facility closing or losing licensure. Second, the phone number we show is the number that picks up when our placement team called it most recently; we do not route through marketing gateways, and we do not allow pay-for-placement number substitution. Third, level-of-care and insurance tags reflect what the facility self-reports to the federal register, not what someone paid us to highlight. The badge is proof-of-existence, not a quality rating — for outcomes and success rates, read our how-to-choose guide.

How the filters work

The sidebar combines three filter groups that reflect how real placement conversations go. Level of care — residential, outpatient, IOP, detox, sober living, co-occurring — maps to the ASAM criteria that clinicians use to match program intensity to a person’s clinical needs. Insurance lists each of the 24 commercial and public carriers we track individually so you can confirm coverage before you call. Substance narrows to programs that explicitly treat what you or your loved one is facing: alcohol, opioids, benzos, stimulants, dual-diagnosis, and more. Filters combine with AND logic — select detox + Aetna + opioids and you get centers that accept Aetna, offer medically-supervised detox, and treat opioid dependence specifically.

Which level of care fits which situation?

Five ASAM levels cover the clinical spectrum: medical detox (5–10 days), residential (30–90 days), PHP/IOP (2–12 weeks), standard outpatient (ongoing), and sober living (3–12 months). The American Society of Addiction Medicine publishes the clinical rubric that placement specialists use. Here is the shortest version any clinician would recognize:

If you’re not sure which row applies, two questions usually sort it. Can you go 24 hours without using safely? If no, you need detox first. Is home a supportive environment or a triggering one? If triggering, residential makes the rest of treatment possible; if supportive, outpatient is usually enough.

Insurance, parity, and what coverage actually looks like

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) — federal law since 2008, strengthened in 2020 — most commercial insurance plans are required to cover addiction treatment at the same financial and treatment-limit levels as they cover physical illness. Translation: if your plan pays 80% for a broken leg, it must pay 80% for detox or residential rehab at the same in-network rate. We list each of the 24 carriers we track individually in the Insurance filter so you can see only centers that accept your plan.

The carriers that appear most often in network agreements are Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, and Kaiser Permanente. Public plans — Medicaid in all 50 states, Medicare for 65+, and TRICARE for military — cover treatment differently depending on state and plan type. Always run a free verification before committing.

What this directory is not

Three things this directory is not: a treatment provider, a marketing arm of any specific facility, or a source of paid rankings. The ranking you see when you land here is either alphabetical or newest-first — never pay-to-play. If a center is exactly right for you, call them directly; if nothing fits, our free placement line works through the same filters with a human clinician on the line.
