Treatment Focus
• Is secular, evidence-based treatment your PRIMARY approach, or is 12-step primary?
• How is SMART Recovery integrated into daily programming?
• Are facilitators formally trained in SMART Recovery?
• Can clients decline 12-step participation without penalty?
• Do you view addiction as a disease requiring lifelong meetings, or as a condition that can be resolved?
Strongest Options: California, Florida, Ontario (Canada)
Limited Options: Tennessee, Texas, Colorado, Nevada, British Columbia
Severe Scarcity: Most Midwest, Plains, Mountain states (except CO), Canadian territories
If no local option exists, consider traveling for treatment or seeking outpatient programs.
Free: TROSA (NC), EHN Red Deer (AB - for residents)
Mid-Range ($15k-$30k): Elevate (CA), Freeman (TN), White Sands (FL), Beachside (FL)
Luxury ($45k-$80k+): CMC:Berkshires (MA), Aton (CA), Passages Malibu (CA)
Research suggests 60-90 day programs show better outcomes than 28-30 day programs.
Most facilities accept: Aetna, Cigna, BCBS, United Healthcare, Anthem
Few accept: Medicaid, Medicare, or Canadian provincial health (exception: EHN Red Deer)
Always verify coverage - it varies by individual plan. Most facilities offer free verification.
"Evidence-based therapies offered" does NOT always mean secular/non-12-step approach. Many facilities use CBT/DBT to SUPPORT 12-step recovery, not replace it.
Always ask: "What percentage of your programming is 12-step versus secular evidence-based?"
This directory represents facilities that EXPLICITLY advertise secular/evidence-based approaches as their primary treatment philosophy.
Explore our evidence-based recovery resources, connect with the SMART Recovery community, or chat with our AI assistant for personalized guidance.
This directory was compiled through systematic research including SMART Recovery's official resources, geographic searches across all US states and Canadian provinces, targeted searches for "secular rehab," "non-12-step residential treatment," and "evidence-based addiction treatment."
All facilities were verified for current operational status as of November 2025. This directory represents facilities that EXPLICITLY advertise secular/evidence-based approaches. Additional facilities may exist but do not market themselves as secular-primary.
Limitation: Treatment facilities change over time. Before making referrals or decisions, verify the facility is currently operational, confirm current pricing and insurance coverage, and ask detailed questions about secular versus 12-step emphasis.
