Data sources
Mental Health Atlas uses public and source-attributed data only. We do not scrape private patient data or infer clinical diagnoses. Imported records are never auto-published.
About search results
Information is sourced from public provider, licensing, and facility data. Always confirm services, availability, insurance, and licensing directly with the provider. Mental Health Atlas does not guarantee availability, clinical fit, or insurance coverage.
Source tiers
Official state licensing
State health department and licensing board records where available.
Federal directories
SAMHSA FindTreatment.gov, CMS NPPES NPI Registry (behavioral health providers).
Accreditors
Joint Commission, CARF, and other accreditor public listings when verified.
Provider-reported
Information submitted by facilities or providers through claim workflows — marked for review.
Payer directories
Insurance listing guidance only; never treated as in-network verification.
Rules
- No aggressive scraping — manual download or official APIs only
- Never auto-publish imported records
- Records without license source verification stay in admin review
- Insurance listings are reported only — not in-network claims
- Each listing should show source name and URL where available
