Finding treatment and care

Confidential, government-run tools for locating licensed providers near you.

Mental health education

Clear, research-based explanations of common mental health conditions and treatments.

Substance use education

How substances affect the brain and body, and what effective treatment involves.

For families and caregivers

Support for the people who love someone facing mental health or substance-use challenges.

Peer and community recovery

Mutual-help groups led by people with lived experience. Many people attend these alongside professional care. Approaches differ, so it can help to try more than one.

Government agencies

Federal agencies that fund, research, and set standards for behavioral health care.

Recovery terminology

Common terms, explained.

Co-occurring disorders
Having a mental health condition and a substance use disorder at the same time. Sometimes called “dual diagnosis.”
Level of care
How intensive a treatment setting is — from outpatient visits to 24-hour medical care. A clinical assessment helps determine which level fits a person’s needs.
Withdrawal management (detox)
Medical care that helps a person stop using a substance safely while managing withdrawal symptoms. Some withdrawals, especially from alcohol and benzodiazepines, can be dangerous without medical supervision.
Medications for substance use disorders
FDA-approved medications, such as buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone, used as part of treatment for opioid or alcohol use disorders under a prescriber’s care.
Intensive outpatient program (IOP)
Structured treatment several days a week for a few hours at a time, while living at home.
Partial hospitalization program (PHP)
A highly structured day program — often most of the day, several days a week — without an overnight stay.
Residential treatment
Treatment in which a person lives at a licensed facility for a period of time and receives structured care.
Peer support specialist
A person with lived experience of recovery who is trained to support others. Many states certify peer specialists.
Relapse
A return to substance use or to earlier symptoms after a period of improvement. Relapse is common in chronic health conditions and is a signal to revisit the care plan — not a sign of failure.
Naloxone
A medication that can rapidly reverse an opioid overdose. Some forms are available without a prescription. Always call 911 as well.
Recovery capital
The personal, social, and community resources — like stable housing, supportive relationships, and purpose — that help sustain recovery.
