About Us
Our vision is to help families and individuals worldwide to find the right mental health and addiction treatment options
Who We Are
Our Story
When you’re in crisis, searching for addiction and mental health treatment can feel downright overwhelming. With the vast number of treatment options, approaches, and therapies available, how do you know which one is right for you or your loved one? When you consider that not all treatment resources adhere to ethical practices, many families in need of care are left in the dark. But they shouldn’t be.
Recovery.com was created in 2017 to help people discover a path to recovery that’s right for them, starting with landing on websites they can trust. We aim to provide unbiased, educational, helpful information about treatment for addiction and mental health.
Independent & Unbiased
We do not own nor are we operated by a treatment center. We strive to remain objective and only present facts about providers, treatment approaches, and so on.
Ethical
We embrace NAATP’s Marketing Code of Ethics for treatment providers: we never charge per lead or referral and we clearly mark advertisements. We also do not list a central phone number. All site visitors are able to directly contact treatment providers of their choice.
Helpful and Educational
Our goal is to be helpful and educational, so you feel empowered in the process of seeking care. We avoid information bias that would push treatment seekers towards a specific level of care or approach. Instead, we collect, fact-check, and curate information from trusted sources, and continually add to our comprehensive Resource Hub to deepen your knowledge and awareness of addiction and mental health topics.
Comprehensive
Our listing pages highlight key information on treatment providers in one place, so you can easily compare factors that may help you make a more informed decision about your care.
Recovery.com Core Values
Compassion
Compassion is treating others with love, respect, kindness, and understanding. Each person has value, so we have compassion for each other and for the people we serve, extending empathy and standing with them in their suffering. Compassion compels us to act.
Vulnerability
Vulnerability means having the courage to share, ask for help, or even point out an issue. When we’re transparent and honest, it allows for deeper, more meaningful connection. Vulnerability provides safety through listening well, accepts we all have struggles, and assumes the best in others.
Growth
Growth comes from continuous learning, both individually and collectively. We embrace that change is good and focus on expanding our skills and ability to help others.
Joy
Joy comes from the inside. We delight in our work, have fun, and are passionate about what we do. We find joy for each other and in each other’s accomplishments. By practicing gratitude, we cultivate joy.
Accountability
Accountability means our actions matter. We take the initiative and do what it takes to move our tasks forward with diligence and excellence. We accept that others will, with compassion, hold us responsible for results.
Creativity
Creativity is all about constantly problem-solving. Creativity allows for open-ended and unconventional innovation. We actively welcome new ideas and recognize collaboration and flexibility are key to creativity.

Robust treatment programs can more effectively guide you towards a life free from addiction.
