Substance Abuse

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s Treatment Facility Locator
This tool helps you locate the drug and alcohol abuse treatment programs nearest to you. This tool lists private and public facilities that are licensed, certified, or otherwise approved for inclusion by their state substance abuse agency. It also lists treatment facilities that are administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Indian Health Service, and the Department of Defense.

National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP)
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration supports NREPP, a searchable online registry of more than 200 interventions supporting mental health promotion, substance abuse prevention, and mental health and substance abuse treatment. NREPP connects members of the public to intervention developers so they can learn how to implement these approaches in their communities.

Above the Influence
The Above the Influence campaign includes a website, commercials, and print advertisements created for the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign, a program of the Office of National Drug Control Policy. The goal is to help teens stand up to negative influences or pressures—such as the pressure to use drugs, pills, and alcohol—so that they will be better prepared to face them. The Above the Influence website has a resources page that provides information on drugs and how to help a friend or family member, resources for immediate help, and organizations that provide counseling and treatment. 

FindYouthInfo.gov Program Directory
The program directory provides up-to-date information for effective programs that address a range of risk and protective factors including those for substance abuse. All programs included in the program directory have been rigorously reviewed based on their conceptual framework, if the program was implemented as intended, how it was evaluated, and the findings of the evaluations. The directory also includes youth-focused programs from SAMHSA’s National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices (NREPP), another online registry of mental health and substance abuse interventions.
