It can be difficult to find credible information in a hurry and we know how overwhelming it can be to find help for yourself or your loved one.

The good news is that there are credible guides on how to pick a treatment center, what questions to ask, and what your options are. With over 24 million people in the US who are experiencing drug addiction, we know we can’t treat them all.

However, we have a monumental challenge to serve as many people as possible. So, we put this list of resources together to help you regardless of if you choose our treatment center for you or your loved one’s recovery.
