  • Moderated with care

    Clear community rules, human moderators, and no sales pitches from treatment centers.

  • For you and your people

    People in recovery, family members and allies each have a place here.

Medical, medication, withdrawal, self-harm, danger and legal emergencies never go on the public board — they’re routed to crisis lines and professional help. What to do instead

A short list youcan actually trust.

Most treatment directories are advertising. Ours is deliberately short: a provider is listed only after firsthand experience, an in-person walkthrough, verified credentials and published disclosures — and they can’t pay to get in.
