Physicians are often asked to recommend drug treatments for patients. For many addicts and their loved ones, the family physician is the first person they turn to for guidance after the difficult decision to seek help from a drug treatment center has been made. Some loved ones even involve the family physician earlier in the process, asking him or her to take part in the actual addiction intervention. No matter when their involvement begins, physicians know they can turn to Treatment-Centers.net, a comprehensive online directory listing more than 11,000 addiction intervention and treatment centers, for help making recommendations.

November 2010 – For years, Treatment-Centers.net has been helping physicians find drug treatments for patients who want to get sober and regain control of their lives. The online directory covers the entire country, and also can help those looking for a drug treatment center elsewhere in the world. Physicians and their patients have 24-hour access to more than 11,000 addiction intervention and treatment centers through the directory, plus 24-hour access to a treatment counselor to narrow the many options down to one. Treatment-Centers.net also has confidential, online assessments and an active user community that shares addiction and recovery experiences in forums and chat rooms. These community members also leave a rating and review of the drug treatment center at which they spent time getting sober. Access to the directory and its many community areas is free for physicians, their patients and anyone else seeking help.

Physicians begin their search for the right drug treatment center for a patient by filling out an online assessment form on his or her behalf. The confidential assessment asks for basic information such as the physician’s contact number – if he or she is handling intake for the loved ones or addict – and the best time to call. The physician also provides the patient’s medical history and information about the addict’s drug abuse. A treatment counselor then calls the physician at the time requested to discuss options for drug treatments. If a physician wants to speak to a treatment counselor right away, he or she can call (877) 335-4673. Physicians can also browse the directory – which is sortable by ratings and reviews – themselves.

In addition to listings for drug treatments and addiction interventions, Treatment-Centers.net provides listings for other types of addictions as well. Physicians can turn to the directory and its counselors for help finding treatments and addiction intervention for alcohol, sex and gambling problems. Treatment-Centers.net creator Bernie Grohsman founded the directory after losing his brother to drug and alcohol addiction, and he hopes it can prevent as many families as possible from experiencing that painful loss.
