Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Facility: how many are there, and how many are in private practice?

National totals

What this specialty covers

A facility or distinct part of a facility that provides a 24 hr therapeutically planned living and rehabilitative intervention environment for the treatment of individuals with disorders in the abuse of drugs, alcohol, and other substances.

Reading the sole-proprietor share

For this facility-based specialty, the sole-proprietor share indicates how often NPPES records are flagged as sole proprietorships, not how many facilities operate in private practice. Because the field is self-reported, it is an imperfect proxy for private practice or ownership and does not establish whether a facility is independently operated.

By state

New NPI registrations by year

Counts reflect the year each NPI was first issued, among records still active today. The final year is partial: this data covers through 2026-01-11.

Data notes

• The sole-proprietor field is self-reported by the provider in NPPES and is an imperfect proxy for private practice.
• A sole-proprietor count shown as <11 is suppressed: the true value is below 11, which could include zero.
• NPI records are not necessarily unique facilities, locations, or operating programs.
• Taxonomy and NPPES records can change over time, so counts reflect the dataset status and classification rules at measurement.
• Providers are counted once, by their primary taxonomy code only.
