How the program list is built

The list is SAMHSA’s own, filtered and rearranged. SAMHSA, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, runs FindTreatment.gov and publishes it through a public API. Our script downloads every substance use program in it, state by state, plus SAMHSA’s directory of certified opioid treatment programs, and builds a page for each program.

What counts as each type of care

Every program is filed under each type of care it reports, so one program can appear on several lists. We don’t judge quality, and inclusion is not a recommendation.

Type of care	Included when the program reports
Detox	Detoxification, or a hospital inpatient, residential or outpatient detox setting (the field FindTreatment.gov’s own detox filter uses)
Residential	Short-term or long-term residential treatment
Outpatient	Regular outpatient, intensive outpatient, or day treatment and partial hospitalization
Methadone clinics	Federally certified opioid treatment program, or a match in SAMHSA’s opioid treatment program directory
Buprenorphine	Prescribes buprenorphine

SAMHSA’s opioid treatment program directory lists a name, address and phone for each program and nothing else. We match each one to a full FindTreatment.gov record by phone number (when the two sites are within 2 miles or share a name word) or by location within a tenth of a mile. Programs with no match appear on the methadone lists with their phone number and a note that services and payment aren’t reported; they don’t get a page of their own because there is nothing else to show.

What each page shows, and where it comes from

On the page	SAMHSA field
Setting (hospital, residential, outpatient)	Service setting
Substances (alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamine)	Detoxification (medical withdrawal) services
Medication during detox	Detoxification services; type of opioid treatment
After detox	Service setting; type of opioid treatment; alcohol use disorder treatment
Payment and help with cost	Payment, insurance or funding accepted; payment assistance
Ages, sexes, languages, special programs	Age groups, sex accepted, language services, special programs
Licenses and accreditation	License, certification or accreditation

We shorten some labels. “Federal military insurance (e.g., TRICARE)” becomes “TRICARE (military)”, for example. We never add a service a program didn’t report.

How fresh it is

SAMHSA updates FindTreatment.gov every year from programs’ answers to its national survey of treatment facilities, and adds and changes listings between surveys. SAMHSA says every program in it has been licensed, certified or otherwise approved for inclusion by the state’s substance use or mental health authority. That is SAMHSA’s statement about its list; we don’t check licenses ourselves.

Each page shows the date the list was last pulled. The refresh is a script that downloads the whole national list again, so programs that close drop off and new ones appear. A program keeps the same page address for as long as SAMHSA lists it.

What the data can’t tell you

When HHS’s Office of Inspector General checked a sample of 100 FindTreatment.gov listings, 66 had at least one inaccurate detail, such as an address or a treatment approach, as of April 20, 2023 (OIG report A-09-23-01003, 2025). Our copy inherits whatever errors SAMHSA’s has, which is why every page says to call first and shows how to report a mistake.

Whether there’s a bed today. No national list tracks openings. Call.
Whether a program takes your specific plan. “Takes Medicaid” or “private insurance” means the program accepts some plans of that kind. Ask about yours by name.
Quality. SAMHSA’s listing shows licenses and accreditation, which are minimum standards. It doesn’t measure outcomes.
Accreditation, independently. We show the accreditation a program reported to SAMHSA. To check it, use Joint Commission Quality Check or CARF’s provider search. We link to them rather than copy their data.
Exact location, sometimes. A few programs have no map coordinates in SAMHSA’s data. For those we place them at the center of their ZIP code for distance sorting, and say so on their page.

Distances

The finder uses straight-line distance from the center of your ZIP code (from the Census Bureau’s 2024 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas) or from your device’s location if you allow it. Driving distance will be longer. Your ZIP code and location are used inside your browser only.

Source and attribution

Program data: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), FindTreatment.gov, and SAMHSA’s opioid treatment program directory. Each page shows the date of the pull it was built from. SAMHSA publishes these listings as public information; we name SAMHSA as the source and don’t use its logo or seal, which SAMHSA reserves for official use under its logo guidelines (updated March 16, 2026), and nothing here means SAMHSA endorses this site or any program. FindTreatment.gov publishes no separate terms of use for its data that we could find as of October 24, 2026. ZIP code centers: U.S. Census Bureau, 2024 Gazetteer, ZIP Code Tabulation Areas.

Corrections

If a listing is wrong, the program should update it with SAMHSA, and can also tell us so we fix it sooner.

Programs that fit none of the five types
