What this record can’t tell you
- SAMHSA’s listing is reported by the facility; it isn’t an inspection or a rating, and a facility’s state licence and inspections are separate.
- It is SAMHSA’s 2025 directory, from the facility’s own answers to SAMHSA’s 2024 survey, so its services, payment and hours may have changed since. FindTreatment.gov, SAMHSA’s online listing, is more current: SAMHSA updates it weekly for facilities that tell it of changes, and adds new facilities monthly.
- It can’t say whether the facility has room, takes your insurance plan or what treatment costs, and it holds no reviews or outcomes: call to ask.
- SAMHSA’s directory gives no county: its county is the one its ZIP code lies wholly within, from the Census Bureau’s ZIP code areas.
