The Team and Data Behind This Directory
Smoking-Cessation.org is a free directory of 11,800+ U.S. treatment facilities, built on SAMHSA's federal treatment locator and organized around nicotine addiction and behavioral addictions in adults. We are a small health-tech team — not a clinic, not a referral network, and no facility pays to appear here.
A Small Health-Tech Team, Not a Treatment Chain
Smoking-Cessation.org is a fully online service run by a small group of health-tech professionals. Adults ready to quit smoking or vaping can find endless advice online — but surprisingly few reliable answers about where structured treatment actually happens.
Our job is narrow on purpose: turn federal facility records into a search a tired person can use at midnight. Someone weighing a quit attempt, or worried about a partner's gambling, should not have to decode government datasets to find help.
So we built one place where SAMHSA-verified facility records can be filtered by state, level of care, and payment options — free, with no account and no sales pitch.
Web-Only, On Purpose
Operating no physical locations keeps our incentives clean: the directory is our only product, so every working hour goes into cleaner data and faster search.

Making Quit-Support Programs Easier to Find
Nicotine is among the most common addictions in the country, yet care for it is scattered across thousands of facilities — each with its own programs, admission rules, and payment terms. Knowing which door to knock on first is often the hardest step, and the same is true for gambling and other behavioral addictions.
Smoking-Cessation.org exists to shorten that search. Facility information should be open to any adult who wants it — regardless of state, income, or insurance status.
Our directory draws from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)—the federal agency for behavioral health under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Turning Federal Records Into a Usable Search
We organize raw facility records into the filters that matter for a quit plan: state, level of care, accepted insurance, and program focus — including nicotine addiction and behavioral addictions such as gambling.
Every entry traces back to an official SAMHSA record. Each listing shows contact details, available services, and payment options, so you can build a shortlist of programs before making a single phone call.
Where Every Listing Comes From
Two federal institutions stand behind this directory: one supplies the facility records, the other the research we rely on when describing treatment.
We pull every facility record from SAMHSA's public treatment locator — the federal registry of licensed behavioral health programs — and refresh our copy on a recurring sync cycle rather than editing entries by hand.
NIH research, much of it published through NIDA, shapes how we describe treatment approaches such as counseling, CBT, and medication-assisted treatment — so our explanations track peer-reviewed findings, not marketing copy.
Additional Trusted Resources
The directory currently holds 11,800+ treatment facilities spanning 50 states, and we re-sync with SAMHSA's dataset on a recurring schedule so listings stay aligned with the federal source.
How Records Are Gathered and Checked
No mystery methodology — this is the four-step path every facility record travels before it reaches your screen.
Facility records enter our system directly from SAMHSA's treatment locator dataset, with the original service codes and field values kept intact.
We re-sync against the federal registry on a recurring cycle — new licensed programs come in, closed or delisted facilities drop out.
A facility appears only if it exists in SAMHSA's registry. Self-submitted listings and paid placement requests are declined without exception.
Dense government fields become plain filters — state, care level, insurance — so an adult planning a quit attempt can compare programs in minutes.
Data Freshness
Federal registries change between sync cycles — facilities close, phone numbers move, programs fill up. Treat each listing as a strong starting point, and confirm availability, services, and cost directly with the facility before you commit.

A Note on Medical Advice
Smoking-Cessation.org is a directory service, not a healthcare provider. Nothing on this site is medical advice, a diagnosis, or a treatment recommendation — including for quitting nicotine. Review any treatment decision with a licensed clinician who knows your medical history.
In case of emergency, call 911.
