How Listings Work

The Source: SAMHSA's FindTreatment.gov

FindTreatment.gov is run by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is authorized by the 21st Century Cures Act, and SAMHSA describes it as the place to find state-licensed treatment for substance use disorders.

SAMHSA updates the directory every year from its National Substance Use and Mental Health Services Survey (N-SUMHSS), which facilities answer about the care they offer. It also posts corrections weekly and adds new facilities monthly, according to FindTreatment.gov's about page.

Rehab Help keeps the substance use facilities and leaves out facilities that offer mental health care only. The current copy was taken on October 2, 2026 and is refreshed from SAMHSA regularly. Each listing shows the date its information was checked.

One Facility, One Listing

SAMHSA sometimes lists one facility several times, once for each program it runs at the same address. Rehab Help combines listings that share a name, street address and ZIP code into one entry, with every program and service from each listing kept. That is why the 12,956 listings in SAMHSA's data become 11,833 facilities here; 900 of them combine two or more program listings.

What Each Filter Means

Each filter in the finder reads one or two fields of the facility's SAMHSA record. A facility appears under a filter only when its own record says so. The count is how many of the 11,833 facilities match.

• Accepts Medicare (6,596 facilities). The payment field lists “Medicare”. SAMHSA field: Payment/Insurance/Funding Accepted.
• Private insurance (9,562 facilities). The payment field lists “Private health insurance”. It doesn't tell you whether the facility is in your plan's network, so check with your insurer. SAMHSA field: Payment/Insurance/Funding Accepted.
• TRICARE (5,919 facilities). The payment field lists TRICARE, the health program for service members, military retirees and their families. SAMHSA field: Payment/Insurance/Funding Accepted.

A filter tells you what the facility reported, not whether it has an opening or takes your specific plan. Call the facility to confirm before you go.

Listing Isn't Endorsement

Every substance use facility in SAMHSA's data is listed, and none is left out or added for money. Facilities can't pay to be listed, moved up or featured, and Rehab Help doesn't take referral fees. Finder results are sorted by distance from the place you search, and nothing on a state or city page is ordered by payment. A listing means the facility is in SAMHSA's directory; it isn't a recommendation, a rating or a judgment of quality. SAMHSA asks that its listings not be read as endorsements too.

The phone number on a listing is the facility's own number from SAMHSA. Rehab Help never swaps in tracked or call-center numbers.

How a Facility Corrects Its Listing

Facility details come from SAMHSA, so changes go through SAMHSA. A facility that wants to fix its address, phone number, services or payment options, or add itself to the directory, should contact SAMHSA's Behavioral Health Services Information System (BHSIS) at 1-833-888-1553 or go through FindTreatment.gov. Once SAMHSA posts the change, it appears here at the next refresh.

How Guides Are Sourced

Guides use official sources only: SAMHSA, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and state agencies. Treatment center marketing, forums and other rehab directories are never used as sources. Each figure carries its year and source, and each guide is reviewed for accuracy and clarity by Michael Rupe. The editorial policy has the full standards.

Guides give information, not medical advice. To decide on care, talk with a clinician, or call SAMHSA's National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357. In a crisis, call or text 988.
