Frequently Asked Questions
Is FindLocalTreatment free for patients and families?
FindLocalTreatment is 100% free for patients and families, and always will be. We want to make it as easy as possible to find the treatment provider that’s right for you.
How much will my treatment program cost?
That’s a great question to discuss directly with your treatment provider or insurance company! If you have any questions regarding the cost of your treatment, we encourage you to give them a call.
If I match to a specific facility, does that mean I will definitely get admitted?
When you reach out to a facility that you qualify for, they will work with you to give you an assessment. This helps them (and you) understand what treatment program is best for you given your needs and current schedule.
I called a number listed, and no one answered. What now?
We’re very sorry you had that experience. Please send an email to feedback@findlocaltreatment.com to tell us who you called, and we’ll follow-up with the provider immediately to ensure this doesn’t happen again.
We do our best to make sure that information on the platform is 100% accurate. All information is provided by the facility themselves, and we do everything we can to make sure they keep their information up to date. But if there was an error, please let us know and we will do a full investigation.

How do we decide which facilities can appear in the search results?
Our primary goal is to only show quality addiction treatment options for those searching for help. To that end, we are strict about which facilities we decide to allow on.
To appear in our results, a facility must:
- Be licensed & certified by the state it operates in OR accredited by a national accreditation body like CARF or The Joint Commission.
- Be in good standing with state boards
- Offer evidence-based treatment practices
- Generally satisfy the SAMHSA Five Signs of Quality Treatment
How are the results ranked?
When deciding which facilities to show first, we take the following factors into account:
- Matches your insurance
- Matches your specific treatment needs (drug type, level of care, etc.)
- Within a reasonable driving distance
- Is currently open for a call or visit
- Provides medication-assisted treatment
- Treats co-occurring disorders
- Answers the phone consistently during business hours
We also favor facilities that have recently updated their information so we can be sure that we are providing accurate information.
When would we exclude a facility from the search results?
We exclude a facility when they don’t satisfy our standards of quality criteria or they decide not to be a FindLocalTreatment member. We may also exclude facilities that are reported for inaccurate or false information.
