How These Rankings Work

Each center is ranked by our Rehab Score that is calculated for every treatment center listed on Rehab.com. Patient reviews are considered for 50% of the score, with recent reviews counting more than older ones. The rest of the metrics include accreditation and licensing, how complete and specific a center’s program information is, and reputation signals such as business history and staffing.

Qualified centers must list substance use treatment and at least one clinical level of care, have a physical address, and be open to the general public. Some organizations have more than one location but only one is ranked for the 10 best rehabs. Our editors screen each ranked center, and its parent company and affiliates, for license actions, patient-safety lawsuits and settlements, government fraud cases and credible investigations. We remove centers that no longer qualify before publication.

Programs for young people are included only when they treat substance use. No center can pay for placement on this list. We update the rankings every quarter, and our scoring methodology page explains each input in detail.
