Questions about SAMHSA.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.

It finds a wide range of facilities including substance use treatment, mental health centers, detox facilities, and inpatient or outpatient care centers across the US.
Can I search for facilities based on my current location?
Yes, you can ask your agent to search for facilities within a specific radius of any latitude and longitude coordinate.
Does this capability give me phone numbers for the clinics?
Yes, it retrieves detailed profiles for specific facilities, which include contact information and available services.
Is this for private clinics too?
It pulls from the official federal SAMHSA database, which includes many providers but may not include every single private facility.
How do I filter for specific needs like youth programs?
You can filter by specific service codes. The capability allows you to identify categories like youth programs, veteran services, and more.
Can I use this for research projects?
Absolutely. It's a great way to pull accurate, standardized data for mapping regional healthcare distributions or analyzing service gaps.
How can I search for treatment facilities near a specific set of coordinates?
Use the search_facilities capability by providing the lat (latitude) and lon (longitude) parameters. You can also specify a radius in miles to define the search area.
Where can I find the list of service codes to filter my search?
You can run the list_services capability. It will return all available service categories and their corresponding codes which you can then use in the service_code parameter of search_facilities.
