For the second year in a row, The Aviary Recovery Center has been recognized on Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Addiction Treatment Centers. This prestigious award is presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The awards list was announced in August 2024, and can currently be viewed on Newsweek’s website.

The America’s Best Addiction Treatment Centers 2024 list highlights the nation’s top facilities based on quality of service, reputation, and accreditation relative to in-state competition. Facilities in the 25 states with the highest number of addiction treatment centers, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), were included in the survey. The evaluation process was comprised of three steps:

  • Recommendations from Peers: Over 4,000 medical professionals (therapists, counselors, medical doctors) and managers/administrators who work in addiction treatment facilities were invited to an online survey. Recommendations for their employer were not allowed.
  • Quality Score: Participants were also asked to rank the quality dimensions which influence the quality of rehabilitation facilities.
  • Accreditation Score: Accreditation data on addiction treatment centers provided by The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

According to Newsweek and Statista Inc., nearly 60 percent of Americans over the age of 12 used drugs that were not prescribed for medical use in 2022, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA’s) most recent national survey. Of the 168.7 million people who consumed alcohol, tobacco, nicotine or illicit drugs throughout the year, 48.7 million had a substance use disorder.

Being recognized on Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Addiction Treatment Centers 2023 is verification of the years of hard work and commitment provided by the team at The Aviary Recovery Center.
