If you’ve ever tried to find help—whether it’s your first time reaching out or you’re already in recovery and need legal support, stable housing, job help, transportation, or a meeting tonight—you already know the problem: information is scattered, outdated, and hard to trust.
Recovery Resource Alliance exists to fix that. We’re a nonprofit building a free, partner-verified directory across the full continuum of care, so individuals, families, providers, and referral partners can find trustworthy options faster—and take the next right step with confidence.
SAMHSA describes recovery as a process of change that can happen through many pathways and supports. And care isn’t a straight line—people move between prevention, treatment, recovery support, and long-term stability over time. That’s why our work goes beyond any single service type. We’re building a clearer map to support across the whole journey.

Our approach to quality (what “verified” means here)
Recovery resources vary widely by structure, oversight, and services offered. To help people compare options clearly and make informed decisions, we reference recognized frameworks where they exist.
For recovery housing, we use the National Alliance for Recovery Residences (NARR) standards and Levels of Support model (I–IV) to distinguish different living environments by structure and services.
For treatment programs, we note what matters most to access and fit (like insurance acceptance, accreditations where available, and specialized services).
For support groups and community services, we focus on practical access details (availability, format, eligibility, and how to start).
Our commitment: no scraped listings
Our directory is built through direct relationships and provider-confirmed information—never scraped data from the internet.
That means listings aren’t copied and pasted from wherever we can find them. We prioritize accuracy, permission, and clarity, because people make life-changing decisions based on this information.
How we keep the directory trustworthy
Recovery resources change constantly—hours shift, eligibility updates, programs expand or pause. Our goal is to stay accurate over time, not just look good at launch. Here’s how:
Structured listings
Clear categories, locations, and service types.Verification signals
We reference recognized standards and state/affiliate certification pathways when they exist.Community submissions + moderation
People can submit resources and updates; we review and approve changes to reduce spam and outdated information.Transparency
We aim to clearly show what’s confirmed vs. what’s still being updated.
Transparency includes review integrity
Trust matters here. We don’t play games with credibility—especially with reviews and testimonials. The FTC’s Consumer Reviews and Testimonials Rule (effective October 21, 2024) targets fake or deceptive reviews because people rely on them to make real decisions.
