About Rehab Help

Who This Site Is for

People looking for treatment for themselves, and the family members and friends helping them. If you're trying to work out where to go, whether a place takes your insurance, or what detox, residential care or medication treatment involves, the pages here give you a straight answer and the official place to check it.

What You'll Find Here

• A treatment finder covering 11,833 facilities, searchable by ZIP code or city. You can filter by payment (Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, sliding fee and more), level of care (detox, residential, intensive outpatient, outpatient), medication for opioid use disorder, and programs for teens, veterans, women and Spanish speakers.
• State and city pages for 54 states and territories, with the facilities in each place and what they offer.
• 22 plain-language guides across 5 topics (Types of Care, Medication Treatment, Paying for Rehab, Help a Loved One, Choosing Treatment), built from SAMHSA, NIDA, NIAAA and other official sources.
• 3 free tools: Treatment Finder, Can I Pay for Treatment? Checker, Levels of Care Compared. They run in your browser.

Every facility detail comes from SAMHSA's own record. The How Listings Work page explains where the data comes from and what each filter means.

What This Site Is Not

Rehab Help is a private website. It is not run by, connected to or endorsed by SAMHSA or any other part of government, and it isn't a treatment provider. It doesn't run an intake line, place anyone in a program or pass your details to a facility.

It never uses tracked or call-center phone numbers. The phone number on a facility listing is the facility's own number, as SAMHSA publishes it, so when you call, you reach the facility directly. The only other numbers on the site are the free public helplines: SAMHSA's National Helpline, 988 and 911.

The site gives information, not medical advice. Choosing a level of care or a medication is a decision to make with a doctor, nurse or licensed counselor who can assess you. SAMHSA's helpline can help you find one.

Who Reviews This Site

Michael Rupe, a U.S. Air Force veteran, reviews pages for accuracy and clarity. He checks that each page says what the official source says, that figures and dates are right, and that the wording is plain enough to act on.

He is not a doctor, nurse, counselor or other clinician, and he doesn't give medical or treatment advice. For decisions about your own care, talk with a clinician, or call SAMHSA's helpline at 1-800-662-4357.

Who Publishes the Site

Rehab Help is published by Rupe Enterprises LLC, a Washington company. The same publisher runs the sister site disability.help, a plain-language guide to U.S. disability benefits, which can help if a substance use disorder or a related health condition affects your ability to work.

How the Site Is Paid for

The site is free to use. It is paid for by display ads from Google AdSense, each marked by Google's own ad icon. Ads never appear inside or between facility listings, and no advertiser has a say in what a page says. Facilities can't pay to be listed, ranked or featured. Any affiliate offer added later will be labelled "Sponsored," kept away from the listings, and will never be a paid referral to a treatment facility or recovery home, which federal law (the Eliminating Kickbacks in Recovery Act, 18 U.S.C. 220) and state patient-brokering laws prohibit. The advertising disclosure has the details.

How Pages Are Checked and Corrected

The editorial policy sets out the standards every page meets. If a guide looks wrong, send a correction through the contact form with the page and the official source that shows the right detail. If a facility's own listing is wrong, the fix goes through SAMHSA, and the How Listings Work page explains how.
