Methodology

Data Sources

All figures in this report are derived from the Mental Health US facility directory database. The directory is compiled from multiple public and proprietary research sources, including government datasets, provider listings, publicly available business information, and ongoing directory research conducted by Mental Health US. This report does not represent a complete census of all mental health providers in the United States.

Data Standardization

Treatment, service, condition, and population data presented in this report are derived from normalized treatment classifications maintained within the Mental Health US directory. The report uses the same normalization and categorization logic displayed on individual facility detail pages to ensure consistency across the platform. Generic, ambiguous, or non-clinical terms are excluded from reporting using the same filtering rules applied throughout the directory.

Geographic Scope

Analysis is limited to facilities in all 50 U.S. states plus Washington D.C. Records with non-U.S. or unrecognized state codes are excluded from all counts.

Facility Type Grouping

Limitations

Directory coverage varies by location and data source. States or regions with higher facility counts in this directory do not necessarily indicate greater treatment availability or access to care.
This report does not include per-capita normalization, urban-rural comparisons, wait-time data, outcomes data, or policy analysis.
Treatment, service, condition, and population classifications are derived from normalized directory data. While extensive efforts are made to standardize terminology, some facility-specific nuances may not be fully reflected in aggregated reporting.
Directory information is collected from multiple sources and may change over time. Individual services, treatment offerings, and operational details should be independently verified with providers.
Data reflects a snapshot of the Mental Health US directory as of the report date and may differ from current facility information.
