Independent Research.
Unbiased Information.
Recovery.com exists to help you find the right treatment—not to profit from your search. We don't accept payment from treatment centers for placement or priority listing. Our independence is our promise to you.
In an industry where many directories prioritize paid advertisers over your needs, Recovery.com stands apart. Every treatment center in our database is listed for free, evaluated equally, and presented without financial bias.

Your Trust Matters
We're committed to maintaining the highest standards because your decision about treatment is one of the most important decisions you'll make.
No Hidden Fees. No Pay-for-Placement.
Every treatment center on Recovery.com has equal visibility, regardless of budget. We don't charge providers for listings because our commitment is to treatment seekers, not advertisers.
Equal Visibility for All Programs
Whether a treatment center has a large marketing budget or is a small independent program, they receive the same opportunity to be found by treatment seekers. No premium placements. No sponsored listings.
No Financial Incentive to Recommend
Since treatment providers don't pay Recovery.com for placement or visibility, we have no financial reason to favor one center over another. Your recommendations are based purely on fit and quality.
Quality Is Our Only Filter
Treatment centers are listed based on legitimate licensing, accreditation, and information accuracy—not marketing spend. This protects you from predatory or low-quality programs.
How Our Free Listing Model Works
Treatment Centers List for Free
Any legitimate treatment provider can submit their information to Recovery.com at no cost. There's no application fee, no monthly payment, no hidden charges.
We Verify Information Independently
Recovery.com verifies licensing, accreditation, and key details about each provider. This quality gate protects treatment seekers and ensures only legitimate programs are listed.
Treatment Seekers Find Them Naturally
When individuals search Recovery.com by location, treatment type, or specialty, they discover all verified programs equally. Results are based on relevance to their search, not marketing budgets.
How Does Recovery.com Sustain This Model?
Great question. Recovery.com operates on a mission-driven model focused on connecting people with treatment, not maximizing advertising revenue. Our sustainability comes from our commitment to the recovery community—helping treatment centers reach qualified seekers and helping individuals find appropriate care.
By keeping listings free and unbiased, we build trust with both treatment seekers and providers. That trust is the foundation of our long-term success. We're not dependent on squeezing payment from providers or ranking results by the highest bidder.
Why This Matters to You
When you search Recovery.com, you're not seeing results ranked by who paid the most. You're seeing treatment centers that have been independently verified and are relevant to your specific needs. That's the difference between a directory driven by treatment seekers and one driven by advertising revenue. Recovery.com exists to help you find the right treatment—not to maximize profit from your search.
