Entitlement facts

Benefit type: Eligibility directory. A searchable directory or referral system for finding programs whose actual eligibility and terms are determined by separate providers. Taxonomy definition →
What it unlocks: Search and filter treatment facilities by location, condition, service type, payment or insurance options, age or population served, language, accessibility, and other available characteristics, with contact information for providers.
Who qualifies: Person seeking mental-health or substance-use treatment; Family member, clinician, or other person helping someone locate treatment
Requirements: Anyone may search without creating an account or proving eligibility. A listed provider makes its own clinical, admission, payment, insurance, capacity, and residency decisions; a listing is not a guarantee of availability, quality, affordability, or fit.
How to activate: Search FindTreatment.gov by address, city, or ZIP code, apply relevant filters, contact promising facilities directly, and verify services, licensure, openings, insurance, costs, accessibility, and admission requirements before traveling or paying.
Cost basis: No-cost access. The core benefit has no required payment, purchase, deposit, paid membership, or pre-existing paid-product relationship under the captured terms.
Cost and fees: The locator is free and anonymous. Treatment itself may have charges, insurance limits, waitlists, assessments, or eligibility rules, and a directory listing is not federal payment, endorsement, or a reservation. For crisis support, call or text 988 rather than waiting on a directory inquiry.
Geography: US, U.S. territories, Provider availability varies by location
Personalization: Published eligibility is not described as individually targeted.
