If your own drinking, or someone you love's, has turned into a crisis in the last few days, you don't have to figure out the whole future tonight. You only need one next step. Some people start with a medically supervised detox, because stopping heavy drinking abruptly can bring seizures, hallucinations, confusion or a racing heart, and those symptoms mean you should call 911 or get to the nearest emergency room rather than wait.
Others start with residential rehab, outpatient counseling, or simply a phone call to someone who can sort the options with you. The right first move depends on how much you're drinking, how long you've been drinking, what your body is doing right now, and what you can pay for. You can decide that one question at a time.
About This Directory
This directory is Sentinel Alcohol Detox, and it exists for one job: to help you find licensed alcohol detox and rehab facilities in the United States without wading through marketing. Every facility we list holds a license in its state. We don't take money to move anyone up or down, and we don't invent ratings, wait times or success numbers.
You can call the free, confidential helpline at (877) 712-7713 any time you'd rather talk to a person than read another screen.
Types of Care
The names can blur together when you're stressed, so here's the short version. Detox means medical supervision while alcohol leaves your system, usually a few days, and it's the safest start if you drink heavily every day or have ever had shakes or seizures when you stopped. Residential rehab means living at a facility for weeks while you get counseling and structure.
Outpatient programs let you sleep at home and attend treatment during the day. Sober living homes give you a stable place to live after treatment. Think about which of those fits your body, your schedule and your budget, then look at the facilities that offer it near you.

How to Use This Directory
Keep it simple. First, decide what kind of help you're looking for tonight: emergency care, detox, residential rehab, or outpatient support. Second, choose your state and city.
Third, look at what each facility is licensed to provide and how to reach them, then call and ask your questions directly. When you call, it helps to have the person's age, how much and how often they drink, any medications, and what insurance exists if any. If you'd rather not make those calls alone, the helpline can make them with you.
Speak with Our Helpline
You don't have to sort this out by yourself at two in the morning. Call the free, confidential helpline at (877) 712-7713 and tell the person who answers what's happening. They can talk through whether detox is needed, what's licensed near you, and what the next step could be.
If there are seizures, hallucinations, confusion or a racing heart right now, hang up and call 911 or get to the nearest emergency room first. Otherwise, one call is a reasonable first step, and you can make it tonight.
