Private Treatment Providers
Free · Independent · Nothing for sale
Nobody pays us to send you anywhere.
Most websites about treatment are owned by the places they recommend. This one isn’t. We publish free guides on addiction rehab, dual diagnosis, mental health, physical recovery and holistic care — and we don’t name a single facility.
What we do instead is show you how to check a provider’s license, read its inspection record, and ask the questions that separate genuinely integrated care from a marketing page.
What this site is, plainly
If you need help now
In the United States, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or 1-800-662-4357 for the SAMHSA National Helpline. In the United Kingdom, call Samaritans on 116 123. If someone is in immediate danger, call emergency services.
Where to start
Four areas, one method: verify before you trust
The subject changes. The approach doesn’t — find the license, read the record, and ask what the brochure won’t tell you.
Addiction
Rehab and detox
Residential and outpatient treatment, withdrawal management, and how to tell a licensed program from a marketing front.
Mental health
Dual diagnosis
Co-occurring substance use and psychiatric conditions, and why most programs only treat one of them properly.
Recovery
Fitness and rehabilitation
Physical recovery, structured exercise, and the role of the body in sustaining a return from illness or dependency.
Wellness
Holistic and retreat care
Retreats, complementary therapies, and residential wellness — what is clinically supported and what is simply expensive.
The guides
Long, sourced, and free to read in full
No email required, no gated content, no chapter hidden behind a form. Every guide lists its sources at the end so you can check our work.

The one habit that protects you
Check the register before you make the call
Every guide on this site arrives at the same place: look the facility up yourself. These are the official registers. They are free, they are public, and they will tell you things the facility’s website will not — including inspection findings and enforcement actions.
Licenses, inspections, complaints, and enforcement actions. Updated daily by the state.

How we work
Three rules we don’t break
One
We cite primary sources
Government agencies, regulators, and peer-reviewed research, linked directly, so you can read the original rather than our summary of it.
Two
We name no facilities
Not for money, not for goodwill, not at all. The moment a site starts recommending providers, you can no longer tell why it is recommending them.
Three
We say what we are not
This is information, not medical advice, and it is not reviewed by a clinician. It is written to help you ask better questions of one.
Private Treatment Providers publishes free information about treatment and recovery. It is not a treatment provider, not a referral service, and not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. We receive no payment from any facility, and no facility can buy a mention here. Licensing rules and clinical guidance change, so always verify against the primary source at the time you need it. If you are in crisis, contact emergency services or a crisis line immediately.
