U.S. Drug Rehab Statistics 2026

What the federal facility dataset actually says about addiction treatment in America: how many facilities exist, what care they offer, who they take money from, and where the gaps are. Every number on this page is computed directly from SAMHSA data and can be independently checked.

The headline numbers

Key Findings

12,072

Substance use treatment facilities

50 states, DC, and U.S. territories

33.3%

of U.S. counties have zero facilities

offer telehealth

9,633 facilities nationwide

The American addiction treatment system is large on paper and very unevenly distributed in practice. The 12,072 facilities in the federal dataset concentrate heavily in metropolitan counties, leaving roughly a third of the nation's counties, home to about 16.3 million people, with no listed substance use treatment facility of any kind inside the county line. We examine that gap in detail in our treatment deserts report.

What facilities actually offer

Levels of Care

21.0%

offer detox

2,538 facilities

23.8%

offer residential care

2,870 facilities

83.9%

offer outpatient care

10,128 facilities

The shape of the system surprises most families who enter it: the majority of facilities are outpatient programs, while the services people most urgently picture when they think of "rehab", medically supervised detox and residential beds, are offered by roughly a quarter to a third of facilities. This is why the first days of a treatment search are often the hardest. The nearest facility frequently exists but does not offer the level of care the situation requires, and detox in particular is the narrowest doorway in the whole system.

Coverage and cost

Paying for Treatment

77.5%

accept Medicaid

The largest single payer of U.S. addiction treatment

95.4%

offer reduced-cost options

Sliding-scale fees, payment assistance, or free care

Two payment facts define access in practice. First, Medicaid acceptance varies dramatically by state, from above 90% to below 30%; the full ranking is in our Medicaid acceptance report. Second, a larger share of facilities than most families expect, about 95 in 100, report some reduced-cost pathway: a sliding fee scale, payment assistance, or free treatment for those who qualify. Families who assume treatment is unaffordable often have more options than they realize, but only if they know to ask.

Where there is nothing

Treatment Deserts

1,071 of the nation's 3,221 counties (33.3%) contain no listed substance use treatment facility at all. Texas alone accounts for 159 such counties; Georgia has 83, Nebraska 64, and Virginia 63.

Because a claim like "this county has no treatment facility" deserves to be checked, we re-verified every one of these counties individually against the live findtreatment.gov locator before publishing the named list. The verified county-by-county breakdown, the counties that failed verification, and the full method are in the 2026 Treatment Deserts report.

How we counted

Methodology

Methodology, sources, and limitations

Source data. The facility list is the federal SAMHSA Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator dataset (the dataset behind findtreatment.gov), aligned with the 2024 National Substance Use and Mental Health Services Survey (N-SUMHSS), the most recent published survey cycle. Our extract contains 12,072 substance use treatment facilities.

Counting rules. Service availability is determined by the SAMHSA service codes each facility reports: DT for detoxification, RES for residential, OP for outpatient, MD for Medicaid, TELE for telehealth, and any of SS (sliding fee scale), PA (payment assistance), or SF (treatment at no charge) for low-cost care. County statistics assign each facility to a county via its ZIP code using the U.S. Census Bureau's 2020 ZCTA-to-county relationship file, taking the county with the largest land-area overlap; 99.5% of facilities matched. County populations are 2020 Census counts.

Limitations. Service codes are self-reported by facilities to SAMHSA and can lag reality. Counts are of facilities, not beds, clinicians, or capacity. A small number of facilities with post-office-box ZIP codes cannot be placed in a county. Individual buprenorphine prescribers and telehealth-only providers that are not SAMHSA-listed facilities are outside this dataset, which matters most in rural counties. Every facility-level fact can be independently verified on findtreatment.gov, and we encourage exactly that.
