Where do I start if I want help with addiction?

Call SAMHSA's National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357) — free, confidential, 24/7. They connect you to local treatment, support groups, and women-specific programs. FindTreatment.gov lets you search by location, payment, and women's services. Medicaid covers treatment in every state under the Mental Health Parity Act.

Will I lose my kids if I go to treatment?

Voluntarily seeking treatment is almost always viewed favorably by family court and CPS — it shows responsibility. Many states have women-and-children residential treatment programs where your kids stay with you during recovery (search SAMHSA's directory for 'residential treatment for women with children'). Hiding addiction is far more dangerous to custody than addressing it.

Are there women-only treatment programs?

Yes — research shows women have better outcomes in gender-specific treatment because programs address trauma, parenting, pregnancy, and DV that fuel addiction differently for women. SAMHSA's directory filters by 'programs for women' and 'pregnant/postpartum women.' Most include childcare or family housing.

What about pregnancy and addiction?

Call 1-800-662-HELP immediately — they prioritize pregnant women for treatment, and federal law requires treatment programs to admit pregnant women on the same day or refer immediately. Medication-assisted treatment (methadone, buprenorphine) is safer for the baby than untreated addiction or withdrawal. Most states have laws protecting pregnant women seeking treatment from prosecution.

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.
