Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

Given the sensitive nature of treatment facility searches, PlainRecovery takes your privacy seriously. Our analytics are powered by Umami, a platform specifically designed to respect visitor privacy — it sets no cookies and captures zero personally identifiable information. Usage statistics are limited to anonymized totals covering page views, referral channels, and device categories.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

PlainRecovery does not set first-party cookies. However, third-party services used on this site may set cookies:

  • Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. Google's DoubleClick cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your browsing patterns.
  • Cloudflare may set security cookies (e.g., __cf_bm) to distinguish humans from bots.
  • Google Analytics (GA4) uses cookies to measure website traffic and usage patterns. Data is processed by Google in accordance with their privacy policy.

Your browser's light/dark theme preference is stored in localStorage, which never leaves your device.

Advertising

We display advertisements through Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. This includes:

  • Google's use of the DoubleClick cookie for ad serving
  • Third-party vendors and ad networks serving ads on this site

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies at aboutads.info.

Data Sources

All data displayed on this site comes from SAMHSA's National Substance Use and Mental Health Services Survey (N-SUMHSS). No private or proprietary data is used. No personally identifiable information from these datasets is stored or displayed.

Editorial Independence

Content on PlainRecovery is compiled by our editorial team: raw data from CMS, HHS, CDC, FDA, and HRSA is transformed into readable profiles by our continuous editorial pipeline, validated against the source before publication. The PlainRecovery editorial team, operating under Kiznis Studio, is responsible for editorial standards and corrections.

We do not accept payment, sponsorship, or promoted placement from providers, hospitals, manufacturers, or any healthcare entity. Our only revenue source is contextual display advertising served by Google AdSense — advertisers do not influence which entities we cover or how we present data, and they do not receive preferential placement.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:
