Description:
PolicyMap downloaded the geocoded mental health and drug and alcohol treatment facilities from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator, a product of SAMHSA’s Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality (CBHSQ). The Locator is compiled from responses to CBHSQ’s annual surveys of treatment facilities (the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services and the National Mental Health Services Survey). For more information about which centers are eligible for inclusion in the Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator, please see SAMHSA’s website: https://findtreatment.samhsa.gov/locator/about.
PolicyMap also downloaded and geocoded the addresses of physicians certified to prescribe buprenorphine to combat opioid dependency from the SAMHSA Buprenorphine Treatment Physician Locator. Eligibility and certification requirements for prescribing buprenorphine were set by the Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 (DATA 2000). On June 1, 2026 SAMHSA decommissioned the Behavioral Waiver Notification System (BWNS) after removal of the DATA 2000 waiver requirement for practitioners. Therefore, data on individual buprenorphine practitioners is no longer available. The data displayed on PolicyMap is current as of June, 2024.
