Find Substance Use Disorder Services

DHCS leads the effort to reduce alcoholism and drug addiction in California by developing, administering, and supporting prevention, treatment, and recovery programs. We endeavor to help Californians understand that alcoholism and drug addiction are chronic conditions that can be successfully prevented and treated.

To learn more about substance use disorder treatment options near you, look up your county access line, or search for providers based on zip code at ChooseMAT.org.

You are not alone. Nationwide, 51.5 million adults struggle with a mental illness, and 19.7 million people struggle with a substance use disorder.

If you think you are having an emergency for an unexpected medical condition, including a psychiatric emergency medical condition, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room for help. If you or someone you know is in crisis, please call 911 or 988.

DHCS also partners with national nonprofit Shatterproof and Blue Shield of California to help combat the substance use crisis, keep Californians safe, and provide recovery resources to those in need. These resources include Shatterproof Treatment Atlas, an addiction treatment locator, assessment, and standards platform that will connect individuals to appropriate evidence-based addiction treatment.

Additionally, StartYourRecovery.org provides helpful information for people who are dealing with substance use issues — and their family members, friends, and co-workers, too. Their goal is to offer people who are dealing with substance use issues a single source of reputable, objective information about signs, symptoms, conditions, treatment options, and resources — presented in a user-friendly format and in easy-to-understand language.
