About Substance Abuse for Women
Substance use treatment in the US is delivered through state-licensed providers, mutual-aid programs (AA, NA, SMART Recovery, Women for Sobriety), hospital detox, methadone clinics, and sober living. SAMHSA's National Helpline (1-800-662-HELP) and findtreatment.gov locate local programs 24/7. For pregnant and parenting women, federally funded Pregnant and Postpartum Women (PPW) programs provide specialized residential and outpatient care that allows children on-site. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is the standard for opioid use disorder, and family drug courts offer treatment-based alternatives to losing custody. This directory aggregates each state's single state agency for SUD, women-specific treatment, MAT providers, and recovery meetings.
