What Addicted.com does

Addicted.com is a privately held, for-profit web directory headquartered in Fresno, California, that aggregates links to addiction recovery programs and U.S. government addiction/mental health resources. The site serves individuals struggling with substance abuse, behavioral addictions (gambling, sex, work, spending, clutter), and eating disorders, as well as their family members and supporters. It functions as a referral hub rather than a treatment provider, curating 35+ 12-step fellowships (including AA, NA, GA, OA, CA, CMA, HA, MA, SAA, and Workaholics Anonymous) alongside four federal entities (NIAAA, NIDA, SAMHSA, and Smokefree.gov), with a prominent 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline link.

The core product is a free, publicly accessible informational portal that organizes outbound links to external recovery organizations. There is no proprietary platform, no mobile app, no API, no disclosed core technology, and no commercial product offering. The site generates no documented revenue; pricing disclosures explicitly confirm free access with no products or services sold. Distribution relies on organic search and direct navigation, with no disclosed marketing channels, partnerships of strategic significance, awards, patents, or technology integrations. John Shegerian is identified as co-founder and CEO.

The business is structured as a small operation (11-50 employees) with no disclosed funding rounds, investors, parent company, subsidiaries, or acquisitions. Ownership and corporate structure are not publicly disclosed. The company's strategic position is essentially that of an exact-match domain directory with no apparent monetization mechanism, making it best characterized as an informational utility rather than a venture-backable commercial enterprise.

Direct peers

• Rehabs.com: Rehabs.com is an addiction treatment directory and resource site that aggregates rehab centers, support groups, and recovery content — directly comparable in form (aggregator) and audience (recovery seekers and families) to Addicted.com.
• Recovery.org: Recovery.org is an addiction resource hub that compiles treatment options, support group listings, and recovery content — directly parallel to Addicted.com's directory-of-programs proposition.

Broad incumbents

• FindTreatment.gov (SAMHSA): SAMHSA's national behavioral health treatment locator is the most authoritative government directory of substance use and mental health treatment facilities, directly parallel to Addicted.com's aggregated directory function — and significantly better-resourced.
• Verywell Mind: Verywell Mind is a major editorial mental-health and addiction resource covering recovery, treatment options, and support groups — a broader incumbent that competes for the same informational queries.
• Healthline: Healthline publishes condition-specific recovery and addiction content with high domain authority, competing in the SERPs for addiction-recovery queries that Addicted.com depends on for traffic.
• American Addiction Centers (AAC): AAC operates a treatment-provider network plus large informational sites (rehabs.com, drugabuse.com, etc.) that aggregate addiction resources — a much larger incumbent with the same directory-plus-provision model.

Emerging players

• Workit Health: Workit Health is a telemedicine and digital care provider for substance use disorder, intersecting Addicted.com's audience but delivering clinical telehealth care rather than a passive directory — representative of where a directory could evolve into an integrated service.
