The current site is helpful although very limited in identifying providers offering medication assisted therapy (MAT). I recommend that additional medications beyond buprenorphine and methadone (e.g., naltrexone oral and injectable forms, acamprosate) be listed and identified as provided at applicable sites of care. Additionally, it would be very helpful to enable patients and caregivers to search for facilities that offer these specific additional MATs (e.g., Naltrexone injectable treatment locator).

A feedback loop can serve as a resource to self-correct the information, e.g. a service provider does not appear listed, the address is incorrect, the "Audience" is not accurate. By allowing providers and people seeking service to provide feedback on the services, you can validate and then update the locator information in a more responsive way
instead of waiting for an annual review.

Include a "Show All" function to expand all search listings, as well as, the current individual "Show" options.

Allow people to review treatment centers and to rate them. Let others know what worked and what did not work. Are they using evidence-based methods? Is family involvement a part of the treatment? Do they have a good after-care plan?

There is a very useful online tool called www.direct2housing.org that could easily be utilized by all Mental Health Housing providers

Individuals seeking service(s) for either sa/mh or both may apply knowing that LBBTQ, Pastoral, deaf services/sensitivity, bi-liqual which represent a segment of the general population. Insensitivity to culture concerns can block the receipt of treatment services.

It would be best to have more treatment locator books available.

I would like to know if medicare or medicare supplements are accepted for people over age 65 who need treatment.

I believe that the description has to be fluid and ability to update more sooner than annually, The health care reform act is causing rapid reorganization. In addition those folks who are not motioning the website for SAMHSA, need to be able to receive email or text updates as well as find programs via smart devices. Hard to reach communities have less access to technology of laptops and tablets as well as internet providers, bear in mind the 47%.

Colorado State Probation requires DUI and Domestic Violence Offenders to perform random breath and urinalysis testing - when traveling, those offenders use the Substance Abuse Treatment Services Locator to comply with their probation terms and conditions regarding testing. It would be very helpful to be able to sort the database by sites that provide those testing services - or at least have the services identified in the description

Publish an API so that others can use the data in different ways. This will allow the community to generate a lot more innovative implementations than you can do directly.

It would be of great assistance for providers to have information related to hours of operation for treatment facilites when trying to contact them.

The Tx Locator should help those looking for treatment by targeting the recommendations based on the clients drug-use, mental health, and location needs. It would be great if payment and insurance information could also be incorporated.

As it stands now, Cognitive Based Education classes are lumped in with Substance Abuse Treamtent which would include services such as Intensive Outpatient. Based on State Laws, many of my clients are only required to attend classes and when trying to find agencies offering cognitive based classes, I generally have to go to each facilities website or contact them directly to ask whether those classes are offered. If a symbol or category were added, this would make the process much easier and faster.

We are in a small town with limited availability of pain/anxiety treatment. How do I ensure in my practice my POC is on target? How often do I drug test? How can I differentiate the drug seeker from the legit patient? What drugs do I test for? Do I have the patient bring in their bottles for pill counts? What drugs are "hot" on the street? What drugs should I not prescribe? I would like more information on the plan of care for successful treatment of these patients. THANK YOU very much

Just have some type of indicator, a symbol, that organizations have trained employees who practice trauma informed principles. There are still places that practice restraint and seclusion which is a traumatizing and unhealthy way of treating people.
