Why we publish this. Choosing care is easier with real numbers. Facility counts come from our live directory; Google ratings are stored directory snapshots; payment and service data comes from the federal SAMHSA locator (refreshed weekly); provider matching comes from the CMS NPPES registry as the backfill completes; meetings from public guides (scheduled daily); overdose trends from the CDC. Verified coverage here: 22% of detox & treatment listings carry a federal SAMHSA match.
