Find Drug & Alcohol Rehab Options That Fit Your Needs

Looking for addiction treatment for yourself or someone you care about? Find Drug Rehab Options helps you understand and explore detox, residential and inpatient treatment, outpatient programs, dual diagnosis care, medication-based treatment, insurance considerations, and recovery resources in one place.

You do not need to know exactly which type of treatment you need before starting your search. Addiction treatment is individualized, and the appropriate level of care can change according to a person's health, substance use, mental health, environment, and progress. ASAM's current standards use multidimensional assessment rather than a one-size-fits-all treatment model.

How We Help

A Simple Way to Explore Addiction Treatment Options

You do not need to understand every treatment term before beginning. Our goal is to help you understand the options available so you can make a more informed decision about what to explore next.

01

Tell Us What You're Looking For

Share basic information about the situation, such as your location, the substance involved, insurance status, and the type of treatment you may be considering. If you are unsure, select “Not Sure Yet.”

02

Explore Relevant Treatment Options

Learn about treatment settings, levels of care, insurance considerations, substance-specific services, mental health support, and recovery resources that may be relevant.

03

Decide What to Do Next

When you are ready, you can explore treatment programs, verify insurance benefits, or speak with a support specialist. There is no obligation to enter treatment simply because you requested information.

Treatment Options

Understand the Addiction Treatment Continuum

Addiction treatment is not one single program. Different treatment settings provide different amounts of medical support, structure, clinical services, and time in treatment. ASAM defines a continuum of care and recommends matching the setting and intensity to the person's clinical needs, followed by reassessment as those needs change.

Addiction treatment continuum illustration
01

Medical Withdrawal Management / Detox

Withdrawal management, often called detox, focuses on safely managing withdrawal when it is clinically necessary. Not everyone entering treatment needs medical detox.

Learn About Drug Detox →
02

Residential / Inpatient Treatment

Residential treatment involves staying in a treatment environment rather than returning home each night. The amount of medical and psychiatric support varies by program, and residential care should not automatically be treated as identical to hospital-level inpatient treatment.

Explore Inpatient Drug Rehab →
03

Partial Hospitalization Program — PHP

A PHP provides a high level of structured treatment during scheduled daytime hours while generally allowing the person to live outside the program.

04

Intensive Outpatient Program — IOP

An IOP provides structured treatment several times per week without requiring someone to live at the treatment facility.

05

Standard Outpatient Treatment

Outpatient care can include scheduled counseling, group services, medication management, psychiatric services, or other addiction-treatment support while the person continues living in the community.

Explore Outpatient Drug Rehab →
06

Recovery Housing / Sober Living

Recovery housing provides a substance-free living environment that may support someone during recovery. Recovery housing is a supportive living environment, not automatically a substitute for clinical addiction treatment.

07

Continuing Care

Treatment does not necessarily stop when residential or intensive care ends. Continuing services may include outpatient therapy, medication management, mental health services, recovery check-ins, peer support, or other community resources.

A person's treatment path might include several of these services—and the appropriate sequence is not the same for everyone.
Substance-Specific Information

Explore Treatment by Substance

Different substances can involve different withdrawal risks, medical considerations, treatment medications, and behavioral approaches. Treatment should be based on an assessment rather than assuming the same approach applies to every substance or every person.

A

Alcohol

Alcohol use disorder can be treated with counseling, behavioral approaches, medications, and different levels of care. For people who have been drinking heavily over a prolonged period, suddenly stopping can sometimes cause dangerous withdrawal, so medical guidance may be necessary.

O

Opioids

Opioid use disorder can involve prescription opioids, heroin, fentanyl, or other opioids. Evidence-based treatment may include buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone, along with behavioral and recovery services according to individual needs.

Explore Opioid Treatment →
F

Fentanyl

Fentanyl is a highly potent synthetic opioid. Pharmaceutical fentanyl has legitimate medical uses, while the majority of fentanyl-related overdose harms in the United States are associated with illegally made fentanyl.

Fentanyl Addiction and Treatment →
H

Heroin

Heroin is an opioid, so treatment may involve medications for opioid use disorder, behavioral treatment, overdose-prevention planning, and appropriate residential or outpatient services.

Explore Heroin Treatment →
C

Cocaine

Cocaine use disorder is commonly treated with behavioral interventions and counseling. Behavioral approaches including contingency management and cognitive-behavioral strategies have evidence supporting their use.

Explore Cocaine Treatment →
M

Methamphetamine

There is currently no FDA-approved medication specifically for methamphetamine use disorder. Behavioral approaches—including contingency management—are important evidence-based treatment options.

B

Benzodiazepines

Benzodiazepine dependence and withdrawal require careful evaluation. Abruptly stopping certain sedative medications after dependence has developed can create serious risks, so treatment decisions should be made with qualified healthcare professionals.

Rx

Prescription Drugs

Problems can develop with prescription opioids, sedatives, stimulants, and other medications. Treatment depends on the drug involved, how it is being used, health conditions, and whether physical dependence or a substance use disorder is present.

The information above is general. Treatment and withdrawal needs should be determined by qualified healthcare professionals.

Insurance and addiction treatment cost consultation
Cost & Coverage

Understand Rehab Costs and Insurance Coverage

Cost is one of the biggest practical questions people have before seeking addiction treatment. There is no single price for rehab. Costs can change according to the level of care, treatment duration, clinical services, medical needs, provider network, location, and insurance benefits.

Does Insurance Cover Rehab?

Many health plans include substance use disorder benefits, but the exact services covered and the amount a patient pays vary by policy. Marketplace health plans include mental health and substance use disorder services among essential health benefits, but individual plan details and cost-sharing still vary.

Private Insurance

Employer and individual health plans may cover services such as counseling, behavioral healthcare, inpatient services, or substance use disorder treatment depending on the policy. Do not assume that every facility or every treatment duration is covered.

Medicare

Medicare covers certain mental health and substance use disorder screenings, inpatient services, outpatient services, and treatment programs for eligible beneficiaries. Exact rules depend on the service and setting.

Medicaid

Medicaid plays a major role in behavioral-health coverage, but service design, participating providers, and benefit delivery can vary by state and program.

In-Network vs. Out-of-Network

In-network providers generally operate under contracted rates with an insurer. Out-of-network care can result in different or higher patient costs depending on the plan.

Rehab Without Insurance

Treatment may still be available without private insurance. SAMHSA identifies potential options such as sliding-fee programs, payment plans, grants, scholarships, charity-care programs, community health centers, and state-supported resources.

Insurance verification is not a guarantee of coverage, authorization, admission, or final patient cost.

Mental Health & Addiction

When Substance Use and Mental Health Conditions Occur Together

A person can experience a substance use disorder and a mental health disorder at the same time. These are commonly called co-occurring disorders or a dual diagnosis. SAMHSA recommends integrated treatment because coordinating mental-health and substance-use care can improve the quality of care and outcomes.

Integrated mental health and addiction care consultation

Dual Diagnosis / Co-Occurring Disorders

Integrated treatment considers both conditions within the overall care plan instead of automatically treating them as unrelated problems.

Addiction and Depression

Depression and substance use can occur together and may affect treatment needs, safety, functioning, medications, and recovery planning.

Addiction and Anxiety

Anxiety disorders can coexist with substance use disorders. Assessment can help distinguish ongoing anxiety conditions from symptoms related to intoxication, withdrawal, medications, or other health factors.

Addiction and Trauma-Related Symptoms

Trauma-related symptoms may be relevant for some people in addiction treatment. Trauma-informed care means treatment should recognize and respond appropriately when trauma is relevant.

Addiction and Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder and substance use disorders can occur together and may require coordinated psychiatric and addiction treatment.

Learn About Dual Diagnosis Treatment →

Therapy and addiction treatment consultation
How Treatment Can Help

Common Approaches Used in Addiction Treatment

There is no single treatment method that is appropriate for every person. SAMHSA notes that combinations of behavioral therapies, medications, and recovery supports can be tailored to individual needs and may change over time.

Behavioral & Supportive Approaches

Individual Counseling

One-to-one sessions can address substance use patterns, personal goals, coping skills, relationships, and recovery challenges.

Cognitive and Behavioral Approaches

These approaches can help people understand connections between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, triggers, and substance use.

Motivational Approaches

Counseling may help people explore uncertainty about change and strengthen personal reasons for pursuing recovery.

Group Treatment

Groups can provide clinical education, skills development, discussion, and structured support with other participants.

Family Services

Family education or therapy may be appropriate when involvement is helpful, safe, and consistent with the person's preferences.

Peer Recovery Support

Peer services can provide support from people with lived recovery experience alongside—not instead of—clinical treatment when clinical care is needed.

Medication-Based Treatment

Medication can be an important evidence-based treatment for certain substance use disorders.

Opioid Use Disorder

Common FDA-approved medications include buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone.

Alcohol Use Disorder

Common medication options include acamprosate, disulfiram, and naltrexone.

Whole-Person Approach

Medication can be combined with counseling and behavioral therapies as part of a whole-person approach.

Medication is treatment—not evidence that recovery has failed.

Medication decisions should be made with appropriately qualified healthcare professionals.

Support for Families

Helping Someone You Care About Find Addiction Treatment

Trying to help a family member, partner, or friend with substance use can be difficult—especially when you do not know what type of treatment they may need. You can begin by gathering reliable information about treatment options, cost, insurance, and available programs.

Family support and addiction treatment counseling

Signs That Professional Assessment May Be Worth Considering

Concerns can include significant changes in health, responsibilities, relationships, behavior, substance use, safety, or ability to function. Avoid treating these signs as a diagnostic checklist.

Talking About Treatment

A calm conversation focused on specific concerns is usually more constructive than labeling, shaming, or trying to diagnose the person yourself.

Researching Treatment on Someone Else's Behalf

Family members can compare treatment types, insurance information, and program services even if the person is not ready to make a call yet.

Family Therapy & Education

Some programs offer family counseling or education to improve communication, clarify boundaries, and prepare for recovery outside treatment.

Healthy Boundaries

Supporting someone does not mean becoming responsible for their recovery or sacrificing your own safety and wellbeing.

Intervention Resources

Some families work with trained professionals when they want structured guidance about approaching treatment. An intervention is not required for someone to seek help.

Recovery support and continuing care after rehab
After Treatment

Recovery Support After Rehab

Completing an inpatient, residential, or intensive treatment program can be an important transition, but recovery support often continues afterward. SAMHSA describes recovery as an ongoing process through which people improve health and wellness and work toward a self-directed life.

Continuing-Care Planning

A treatment program should consider what comes next before the current level of care ends.

Ongoing Counseling

Outpatient counseling can help address new challenges, mental health needs, recovery goals, and changing circumstances.

Recovery Support Groups

Some people choose mutual-support programs such as 12-step groups, SMART Recovery, or other community-based options. Different approaches fit different people.

Peer Support

Peer-recovery services can provide ongoing connection and practical support.

Recovery Housing

A substance-free living environment may provide additional structure during the transition back to independent living.

Relapse / Return-to-Use Planning

Treatment can help people identify triggers, warning signs, and what to do when recovery becomes more difficult.

Alumni Programs

Some treatment organizations offer optional continuing communities, check-ins, or events for former patients.

TreatmentTransitionContinuing CareOngoing Recovery
The end of one treatment program should not automatically mean the end of support.
Safety & Overdose Prevention

Safety and Overdose Prevention

Recognizing a Possible Opioid Overdose

CDC identifies possible signs including unconsciousness or inability to wake, slow or shallow breathing, choking or gurgling sounds, discoloration around lips or nails, and very small pupils.

Naloxone

Naloxone can temporarily reverse an opioid overdose. If an opioid overdose is suspected, CDC advises giving naloxone if it is available and calling 911. The person should not be left alone.

Fentanyl Risk

Illegally made fentanyl can be mixed into heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, or counterfeit pills without the person's knowledge. Learn about fentanyl addiction and treatment.

Polysubstance Risk

Exposure to more than one drug can be intentional or unintentional. Combining substances can make effects less predictable and increase overdose risk.

Naloxone and overdose preparedness
If someone may be experiencing an overdose, loss of consciousness, difficulty breathing, or another medical emergency, call 911 immediately.
Choosing a Treatment Program

What to Look for in an Addiction Treatment Program

Licensing

Ask whether the facility is appropriately licensed for the services it provides.

Clinical Qualifications

Ask who delivers medical, counseling, psychiatric, and medication-related care.

Appropriate Level of Care

The program should be able to explain why its level of care fits the person's needs.

Evidence-Based Services

Ask which therapies, medications, and clinical approaches the program uses.

Individualized Treatment Planning

Treatment should reflect the person's needs instead of only a standard program schedule.

Mental Health Capability

Ask how the program identifies and addresses co-occurring mental health conditions.

Medication Access

For conditions such as opioid use disorder, ask whether appropriate medications are provided or coordinated.

Family Services

Ask whether family involvement is available when appropriate.

Continuing Care

A program should be able to explain what happens after discharge.

Transparent Costs

Ask what is included, what may be billed separately, and what insurance is expected to cover.

ASAM's current standards emphasize assessment, individualized treatment planning, appropriate levels of care, reassessment, and transitions through the treatment continuum.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Drug and Alcohol Rehab

1. What is drug rehab?

Drug rehab is structured treatment for people experiencing problematic drug use or a substance use disorder. It can involve assessment, counseling, behavioral treatment, medications, mental health services, residential care, outpatient care, and continuing support.

2. What is alcohol rehab?

Alcohol treatment can include counseling, behavioral therapies, medications, outpatient or residential services, and withdrawal management when clinically necessary. People with a history of prolonged heavy drinking should seek medical guidance before suddenly stopping because alcohol withdrawal can sometimes become dangerous.

3. How do I know whether addiction treatment may be needed?

Professional assessment may be worth considering when substance use is becoming difficult to control or is repeatedly affecting health, safety, relationships, responsibilities, work, or daily functioning. A website cannot diagnose a substance use disorder.

Inpatient or residential treatment involves staying in a treatment setting and receiving structured services there. The amount of medical support varies by facility and level of care.

6. What is outpatient rehab?

Outpatient treatment allows someone to receive scheduled addiction services while continuing to live outside the facility.

7. What is dual diagnosis treatment?

Dual diagnosis treatment addresses a substance use disorder and a co-occurring mental health condition within a coordinated care plan.

8. How long does rehab last?

There is no universal duration. ASAM recommends basing treatment length on clinical needs, progress, and reassessment rather than automatically using one fixed number of days.

9. How much does rehab cost?

Treatment prices vary according to level of care, location, services, duration, insurance, and other factors.

10. Does insurance cover rehab?

Many health plans provide substance use disorder benefits, but coverage differs by policy, network, service, authorization rules, and patient cost-sharing.
