About Ohio Recovery Directory

A free, independent directory of licensed drug and alcohol treatment facilities across Ohio — built so that finding treatment information doesn't have to feel like wading through advertising.

Why this site exists

When someone you love needs treatment, you are usually searching at the worst possible moment — late at night, scared, and in a hurry. What you find too often makes it harder: directories where "top-rated" means "paid the most," helplines that route to whichever call center bought the lead, and pages where the line between information and advertising has been deliberately blurred.

Finding treatment information in a crisis is harder than it should be. This site is a small attempt to fix that for Ohio: one place where every listing comes from the federal government's own registry, presented plainly, with nothing for sale.

What this site is

  • Free. Every page is free to use, with no accounts, no sign-ups, and no paywalls.
  • Independent. We accept no payments from treatment facilities — not for listings, not for placement, not for referrals. Read our editorial policy for exactly how listings work.
  • Federally sourced. Every facility comes from SAMHSA's official FindTreatment.gov locator, the U.S. registry of licensed substance use treatment providers.

What this site is not

  • Not a treatment provider. We do not operate facilities, employ clinicians, or admit patients.
  • Not medical advice. Nothing here can replace a conversation with a doctor or a licensed counselor about your specific situation.
  • Not a referral service that profits. We do not collect your information, sell leads, or earn anything when you contact a facility. When you call a listing, you are calling the facility directly.

How to use this directory

  • Pick your city. Start from the city list and choose the metro area closest to you. Each page covers facilities within roughly 15 miles.
  • Compare the badges. Service and payment badges — Medicaid, detox, outpatient, medication-assisted treatment — come from the SAMHSA dataset and let you narrow the list quickly.
  • Call the facilities. Every listing includes a phone number. Two or three calls will tell you more than an hour of reading.
  • Verify before you go. Confirm services, insurance acceptance, and bed availability directly with the facility — details change faster than any dataset.

If you are not sure where to start, the SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357 is free, confidential, and staffed around the clock.

The standard we hold ourselves to

Everything on this site follows one rule: if a piece of information could be shaped by money, it doesn't belong here. The full details — where data comes from, how often it's refreshed, what the badges mean, and what this data can't promise — are in How We List Facilities. Spotted something wrong? Tell us and we'll review it.
