How can I find an inpatient or residential treatment facility?

To help in choosing an inpatient or residential treatment facility, talk with your psychiatrist or therapist, contact your local NAMI Affiliate, and/or speak with members of support groups you may be attending for recommendations. Resources include:

SAMHSA Treatment Locator provides referrals of different treatment facilities in the country. SAMHSA can narrow search by insurance, cost of treatment and type of treatment. Their website also includes programs like assertive community treatment and residential treatment.
