How we evaluate facilities

Our research team reviews facilities using public data sources, information verified directly by contacting the facility, and information reported by the facility themselves. Whenever possible, we interview the clinical leadership of a facility and perform Secret Shopper calls to understand the patient experience. These inputs, along with data from SAMHSA, accrediting bodies (including Joint Commission and CARF), state licenses, and other sources help complete a full picture of the facility. These data help us develop Trust Score rating for each facility, a simple A+ through E grade helping you understand how likely it is you can trust a facility.

Why trust us

For over 10 years, Start Your Recovery has worked with leading experts in effectively treating substance use issues to offer people a single source of relatable, reliable information at any stage of their recovery journey. To do it, we bring together leading clinicians and experts in substance use prevention treatment and recovery from nonprofit, academic, and government institutions. We have connected more than 3 million people, and are committed to raising the bar for ethical communications that has a positive impact. We are not owned or operated by any treatment facility. We began as a pro-bono project in 2016 and became an independent LLC in 2021.

Important disclaimer

StartYourRecovery.org does not guarantee the quality of treatment of any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some data points may go out of date and change over time. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Please contact us if you would like to make an update to your facility information.

How can I find the best addiction treatment?

Ultimately, the question isn’t “What’s the best rehab?” but rather, “What’s the best treatment for me?” Work with a qualified clinician to use the guidance here to make the right treatment.

The right program may depend on:

  • Type of care: Determine if inpatient, outpatient, withdrawal management, and/or medication treatment is right for you.
  • Offerings: Make sure the program caters to both your condition, as well as your unique needs and lived experience.
  • Program length: More severe challenges may take longer. Programs should allow patients to stay as long as it is clinically appropriate. No program should discharge a patient based on an arbitrary fixed length of stay. Avoid any program that calls itself a “28-day” or “30-day” rehab. The length of stay should be unique to each patient’s needs.
  • Insurance coverage and cost: Make sure the treatment is covered by insurance and within your budget.

Learn more about choosing the right addiction treatment program.

What type of drug or alcohol addiction treatment is right for me?

Get an independent assessment of your treatment needs by a clinician who has experience in substance use problems but is not connected with or employed by a treatment center. They will help you decide between treatment options including:

Outpatient treatment. Patients live at home and go to a clinic or facility regularly for sessions with addiction treatment professionals. 

Residential treatment: Patients stay at a residential facility with 24-hour supervision. Different residential programs vary in the intensity of services that they provide. All are staffed 24/7. Some, but not all residential facilities, also provide nursing care and have an on-call physician or advanced practice provider (such as a nurse practitioner). 

Hospital inpatient treatment: Patients stay at a hospital facility and receive intensive and highly structured care for addiction and other medical problems. Nursing services are available 24/7. In addition, a physician or advanced practice provider is typically available on-site 24/7.

Withdrawal management: Formerly known as “detox,” (a term that has fallen out of favor due to stigma). Supervised withdrawal from drug or alcohol use. 

Medication: Medication treatment for substance use disorders, combined with behavioral therapies and counseling, can reduce your withdrawal symptoms and cravings to sustain your recovery. Evidence-based guidelines recommend that FDA-approved medications for addiction treatment be offered at all levels of care, including outpatient, residential, inpatient, and withdrawal management.

There are also many non-clinical pathways to recovery as well, such as peer support groups and recovery housing. These supports can also be combined with clinical services. Learn more about the many pathways to recovery.
