Learn More About Our SAFE Locator
SAFE Project’s SAFE Locator allows users to find treatment centers, family support organizations, and recovery homes. You can access it directly here. To ensure that people can identify and access the most accurate information about what is available near them, it is critical that these facilities provide their information to be included in the database and periodically update their profile.
Volunteers can check with local support organizations and recovery homes to add their information to this locator, making it nationally accessible to those seeking help!
