Our Ranking Methodology

Every facility on this directory is ranked by the same transparent trust score. No paid placements.

We believe a health directory should be able to explain exactly why one facility appears above another. Here is precisely how our ranking works.

The trust score

Each facility earns points across several publicly verifiable signals:

Facilities are sorted by total trust score, with Google rating as the tiebreaker.

Why Florida DCF matters

In Florida, substance use disorder treatment facilities are licensed by the Department of Children and Families (DCF). We reference DCF licensure in our evaluation rather than out-of-state frameworks. We encourage every visitor to verify a facility's current DCF license, plus any Joint Commission or CARF accreditation, directly with the provider.

Data source & limitations

Listing data is sourced from publicly available Google Business Profile information. Ratings and review counts change over time and represent a snapshot. We do not display full review text. Rankings are informational and are not medical advice or endorsements.

We never fabricate data. If a field - insurance, accreditation, a treatment type - cannot be verified, we leave it blank rather than guess.
