Addiction Treatment World is an educational resource and treatment directory. We are not medical providers.
The information on this site does not replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a licensed healthcare provider before making decisions about treatment.

No Emergency Services

If you’re in crisis, call 911 or text 988 (US Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). We do not provide emergency or crisis services.

No Provider Relationship

Using this site or receiving a referral does not create a doctor-patient relationship. Clinical relationships exist only between you and the providers you choose.

Content Limitations

Content is for general information only and may become outdated. Treatment programs vary in quality, approach, and outcomes. Results are individual and not guaranteed.

Third-Party Programs & Facility Information

We may connect you with licensed treatment facilities at your request. Program details (available beds, services offered, insurance accepted, staff credentials) are provided by the facilities themselves and may not be current. We do not control their services, policies, costs, or availability.

You must verify directly with any program: current licensure, accreditation status, insurance network participation, staff qualifications, treatment methods, and actual costs.

Telehealth & Virtual Treatment

Some programs offer telehealth or virtual services. These may have different licensing requirements, insurance coverage, and effectiveness depending on your location and needs. Confirm that virtual treatment is appropriate for your situation with a licensed provider.

State Licensure

Treatment facilities must be licensed in the state where they operate. If you’re seeking treatment in a different state, verify that the program accepts out-of-state clients and confirm any additional requirements.

Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Addiction Treatment World is not liable for decisions made using site information or outcomes from third-party providers.

Your responsibilities: Use emergency services when needed. Verify program licenses and accreditation in their state. Confirm insurance coverage and costs directly. Consult licensed professionals for medical decisions.
