Privacy Policy

DrugsRehabsCenters.com is an independent informational directory that helps people find drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers and learn about addiction and recovery. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and the choices and rights you have. We are not a treatment provider, medical clinic, or billing service, and we do not employ clinicians.

By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site. This policy works alongside our Terms of Service and Affiliate Disclosure.

Information We Collect

We aim to collect only the information reasonably necessary to operate our directory and improve your experience. The types of information we may collect include:

  • Information you provide directly. If you contact us through our contact form, request information, or submit a message, we may collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
  • Automatically collected information. When you browse the site, we may automatically collect technical details such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, and the dates and times of your visits.
  • Cookies and similar technologies. We and our service providers may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to remember preferences and understand how visitors use the site (see below).

Please do not send us sensitive personal health information through the website. We are an informational resource, and any information you submit should be limited to general questions about finding rehab resources.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them to keep the site functioning, remember your preferences, and measure site performance. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work correctly if cookies are turned off. Where required by law, we will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies.

Analytics

We may use third-party analytics services to understand how visitors interact with our pages, such as which articles are most read and how people navigate between our rehab center listings and rehabilitation services pages. These services may set their own cookies and collect usage data in aggregate. We use this information only to improve our content and user experience.

Advertising

We may display advertising on the site, and third-party advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads that are relevant to your interests. These partners may collect information about your visits to this and other websites to provide measurement and targeting services. You can often opt out of interest-based advertising through industry tools such as your browser’s ad settings or recognized advertising opt-out programs.
