The first step should not feel like a maze.
Start from the situation you are actually in.
NRIN routes people into the right starting experience — personal treatment, ordered-treatment requirements, family-assisted search, or facility/referral workflows.
Personal care path
I need treatment for substance use.
For people seeking help for themselves.
Ordered treatment path
I have been ordered to complete treatment.
For court, probation, employer, school, licensing, diversion, or agency-driven requirements.
Helper path
I am helping someone find treatment.
For family members, advocates, and community helpers starting a standard treatment referral.
Faith & community path
I am a faith or community leader helping someone take the next right step.
For churches, ministries, chaplains, recovery volunteers, and faith-based organizations helping someone begin treatment or ordered-treatment compliance.
Treatment facility path
I am a treatment facility ready to review structured referral packets.
For treatment centers reviewing structured referral packets organized by care needs, payment fit, location, readiness, and facility capability signals.
If you are in immediate danger, call 911. If you are in crisis or thinking about suicide, call or text 988.
