Where can a person with an alcohol problem find help or treatment?

There are many national and local resources that can offer help.

The National Drug and Alcohol Treatment Referral Routing Service provides a toll-free telephone number, 1-800-662-HELP. Through this service you can speak directly to a representative concerning substance abuse treatment, request printed material on alcohol or other drugs, or obtain local substance abuse treatment referral information in your state.

A searchable directory of licensed, certified, and otherwise approved federal, state, local and private treatment facilities is provided by the federal government's Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in its Substance Abuse Treatment Facility Locator.

The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD) maintains a Web site www.ncadd.org/affiliates and toll-free telephone number (1-800-622-2255) where you can find local information and referral services.

Alcohol treatment facilities and programs are available in most communities and can be located directly through the local telephone book, through local public health or substance abuse agencies, or by physician or other health care provider referral.
