Addiction Resource

What Addiction Resource does

Addiction Resource, operated as Addiction Resource LLC under Florida law and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, is a privately-held educational content platform and treatment referral service founded in 2014. The company maintains a national directory of accredited addiction treatment centers searchable by state, city, level of care, payment option, and insurance provider, supported by an extensive medically-reviewed content library covering alcohol, opioids, stimulants, benzodiazepines, behavioral addictions, and co-occurring disorders. Its primary consumer-facing product is a free, confidential 24/7 toll-free admissions helpline (888-786-9995) staffed by admissions specialists who conduct assessments and connect callers to treatment providers, complemented by an online insurance-verification service and state-level locator pages.

The platform does not develop proprietary software or algorithms; its technology stack is a WordPress-based content website with a structured treatment-locator search tool and call-routing infrastructure. Content is clinically validated by a small medical leadership team including Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ash Bhatt, Medical Director Dr. Norman Chazin, and Chief Clinical Officers Alison Tarlow and David Levin. The company co-positions with SAMHSA and FindTreatment.gov to establish credibility within the federally-supported addiction treatment ecosystem.

Addiction Resource monetizes exclusively through an affiliate/lead-generation model: licensed treatment centers pay to be listed in the directory and/or pay for calls routed from the helpline, with the site explicitly disclosing that any treatment center receiving calls from the site is a paid advertiser. End users access all services free of charge. With 9 employees and a footprint spanning all 50 U.S. states (with documented density in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Arkansas), the company operates as a lean, founder-owned content-and-referral business rather than a venture-backed technology company, with no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or institutional ownership.
