For the seventh year, Newsweek has unveiled its list of America’s Best Residential Addiction Treatment Centers.

Released Aug. 13, the 2026 ranking recognizes 440 top residential addiction treatment centers across the U.S. The compilation includes 10 facilities in New Jersey.

The publication noted these “centers provide critical, around-the-clock care for individuals facing substance use disorders, trauma and complex mental health challenges.”

How they were evaluated

Newsweek partnered with data analysis firm Statista to determine the findings. The rankings were based on:

• National online survey of medical professionals and addiction treatment center management and administrators (recommendations for a participant’s employer were prohibited)
• Accreditation data provided by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
• Evaluation of recovery support, educational and counseling services based on SAMHSA data
• Patient review data from Rehabs.com, Recovery.com and Google Reviews

Newsweek said residential programs usually require a minimum residency of 30 days. The publication did not include facilities offering only outpatient or short-term services.

The list covers the 25 states with the highest number of addiction treatment centers, based on data from the SAMHSA. Facilities were ranked by state.
