Dear «Director_FN» «Director_MI» «Director_LN», or Current Facility Director:
I am writing to let you know your facility has been approved for inclusion in the Federal
government’s Substance Abuse Treatment Facility Locator. The Facility Locator is an online
directory of drug and alcohol abuse treatment facilities and can be found at
http://findtreatment.samhsa.gov. It is maintained by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration as a public service. There is no charge for being listed in the Facility
Locator.
The 12,000 facilities currently listed on the Facility Locator have met SAMHSA’s two
requirements: (1) they have responded to SAMHSA’s annual survey of the drug and alcohol
treatment facilities called the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services
(N-SSATS); and (2) they have been approved for inclusion in the National Directory and online
Treatment Facility Locator by their State Substance Abuse Agency.
Although the next N-SSATS is not scheduled until March 2008, facilities that have been
approved in the interim can be added to the online Treatment Facility Locator by answering a
brief set of questions about types of treatment and services offered.
If you are interested in having your facility included in the online Treatment Facility
Locator, please call SAMHSA’s contractor, Mathematica Policy Research, Inc., at
1-800-685-7623, Monday through Friday between 9 am and 6 pm (ET). This is a toll-free
call. When you call, please mention reference number:
«MPR_ID»,
We hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

Javaid Kaiser, Ph.D.
Director, Office of Applied Studies
