Finding the right substance use program can be challenging. An individualized assessment — by a healthcare provider, treatment program, or licensed clinician (in person or online) — helps determine the right level of care. Recommendations may include withdrawal management (detox), outpatient treatment, residential treatment, hospital-based services, or Medication-Assisted Recovery (MAR). Withdrawal management (detox) is often the first step when symptoms are severe or unsafe to manage alone.
Directories and tools can help you find facilities licensed by the state and accredited by organizations such as CARF or Joint Commission. While these designations confirm that certain standards were met at the time of inspection, they are not a guarantee of quality care.
Whenever possible, consult a trusted resource — such as a Peer Recovery Specialist — to help guide your search and stay involved through treatment. Explore related options in HEALTHCARE PRACTITIONERS, TELEHEALTH, and MEDICATION-ASSISTED RECOVERY (MAR).
