The Substance Abuse Treatment Facility Locator

If you are interested in locating alcoholism drug abuse treatment centers, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has a website that contains a Substance Abuse Treatment Facility Locator.

All you have to do is click on the location where you live and you will be taken to a page that asks you to enter the city, state, and searching radius information, and this facilities search tool will produce a number of substance abuse facilities within the searching radius and the city and state you entered.

The following information will be provided for each facility:

• Primary Focus of Treatment (for instance mental health or substance abuse services).
• Services Provided (for example, substance abuse treatment).
• Type of Care (in-patient or outpatient.
• Special Programs/Groups (for instance, pregnant/postpartum women, persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders, DUI/DWI offenders, etc.).
• Forms of Payment Accepted (for example, self payment, Medicaid, or Medicare).
• Payment Assistance (Please check with facility for details).
• Special Language Services (for instance, ASL or other assistance for the hearing impaired).

Alcoholism Drug Abuse Treatment Center:  Conclusion

If you are alcohol dependent, you need to seek professional help as soon as possible. 

Your health care provider at your local alcoholism drug abuse treatment center will be able to help you determine the extent of your drinking problem, as well as help you come up with a healthier way of addressing and treating your alcohol dependency.

Keep in mind, however, that this "treatment plan" may involve total abstinence or perhaps "strongly suggested" regular meetings at the Alcoholics Anonymous in your community.
