Why we built this
Addiction recovery resources are often scattered, paywalled, or buried inside treatment programmes that require insurance, intake forms, or a waitlist before anyone can access them. We believe the first useful tool, a tracker, a screener, a guide, a crisis resource, should never be more than a click away. RehabNest gathers practical, evidence-based tools into one place, organised so that whoever needs them, whether newly sober, supporting a loved one, or years into recovery, can find what fits their actual situation.
Every tool on this site is built around real, current questions people are searching for, not generic filler. We draw on established clinical frameworks, including DSM-5 criteria, the WHODAS and WHOQOL-BREF, validated screening instruments like the AUDIT and PHQ-9, and widely recognised recovery models, while keeping the language plain, the tone non-judgmental, and the experience entirely private. Nothing you enter into these tools is sent to a server. It stays in your own browser.
What we are, and what we aren't
RehabNest is an educational and self-management resource. It is not a treatment provider, a crisis service, or a substitute for medical or clinical care. Where a tool touches on something genuinely urgent, withdrawal danger signs, overdose recognition, suicidal thoughts, we say so directly and point toward emergency services or a crisis line rather than trying to manage that situation through a webpage. Our goal is to complement professional care and peer support, not replace either.
Who RehabNest is for
People in active recovery, people considering whether they have a problem, family members and partners trying to understand and support someone they love, and counsellors or peer specialists looking for a quick worksheet or screener to use with a client. The tools span daily tracking, mental health screening, family and relationship support, clinical education, and crisis resources, organised so that whatever you're looking for is a search or a click away.
A living project
We continue to expand and refine these tools based on what the addiction recovery field learns and what the people using this site tell us is missing. If you have feedback, whether about a specific tool, a broken link, or a resource you wish existed here, we genuinely want to hear it through our contact page.
