The Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) of the Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Public Health Service, was created in October 1992
with the Congressional mandate to expand the availability of effective treatment and recovery
services for alcohol and drug problems.
The Center operates the National Drug and Alcohol Treatment Routing Service,
1-800-662-HELP, which offers alcohol and other drug abuse-related information and/or referrals
to people seeking treatment programs and other assistance.
At CSAT, we know that treatment works. Working collaboratively we can loosen the grip of
addiction, and decrease addiction- related diseases and addiction's affect on society.
