Understanding the Insanity of Alcoholism: How the Alcoholic Thinks

Questions People Ask Us

How it works, what it costs, who pays.

Is ChooseHelp free to use?

Yes. Browsing the directory, reading our guides, and asking our experts a question are all free. The site is supported by advertising, not by your calls.

How we make money
How do you make money?

Treatment facilities can pay a flat fee to advertise an enhanced “Sponsored” listing in our directory. That fee is the same whether the listing gets one visitor or ten thousand — it is paid for the placement itself, and every paid listing is clearly labeled.

How we make money
Do you take referral fees, or sell my details?

No. We do not charge facilities a fee for each call, lead, or admission, and we do not sell your personal information. Fees tied to admissions are how some referral services end up steering people toward whoever pays most. We don’t do that.

Privacy policy
Does paying change a facility’s ranking or its reviews?

No. Payment affects placement and presentation only. It never changes our reviews, our editorial content, or the ranking of the unpaid facilities that appear alongside paid ones. A facility cannot pay to alter its rating or to have a negative review removed.

Advertising policy
Am I covered by insurance?

It depends on the type of medical cover you have. Treatment for mental health and substance abuse issues can be covered by most health insurances.
