Helping people explore care options, one search at a time.
Treatment Finder is an informational comparison platform built to make mental health and substance use treatment options easier to discover, explore, and compare.
What Treatment Finder does
Treatment Finder is an online resource that helps individuals and families explore mental health and substance use treatment options. Rather than functioning as a clinical decision-maker, Treatment Finder is a discovery and comparison tool: visitors share their preferences — the type of care they are exploring, the areas of support they are seeking, their insurance, their preferred travel distance, and their financial situation — and the platform presents programs and providers whose reported information may align with those preferences.
The platform is designed for anyone navigating the often overwhelming process of finding mental health or substance use support — including adults seeking therapy, parents exploring options for a teen, individuals considering a higher level of care such as an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) or Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), and people comparing residential or detox programs. Treatment Finder is also built for providers and treatment facilities who want to make their programs easier for people to discover and compare. Providers cannot purchase higher placement in search results.
Treatment Finder is independently run and committed to making treatment discovery more transparent, more compassionate, and less intimidating. Our comparison system organizes results based on user-selected preferences and available provider-reported information — never on who pays the most. We partner directly with treatment facilities to help keep program details, services, insurance information, and facility-reported availability information current and useful, so that every search begins with clarity rather than confusion.
Treatment Finder is run by Nick Mastropiero.
I spent years working in treatment admissions, which is where this site comes from. On the intake side you hear the same call over and over: someone has finally decided to get help, and they are on their fifth or sixth phone call trying to find a place that takes their insurance, has an opening at the right level of care, and is close enough to actually get to. By the time they reach you they are exhausted, and some of them stop calling before they find anything. That is the part that stayed with me — not that treatment does not exist, but that finding it is its own obstacle at the worst possible moment.
I also know the other side of it. Facilities field calls all day from people they cannot serve — wrong level of care, wrong payer, wrong state — while the people who would be a good fit never find them. Both sides are spending their energy on the same mismatch.
That is the whole idea here: give someone enough information up front to call one or two places that actually fit, instead of twenty that do not. You call the facility directly. We never send your information to anyone.
What guides us
A few principles shape every decision we make and every result we display.
People first
Every search begins with someone looking for support. We organize results around their preferences, not who pays the most.
Transparency
Providers cannot purchase higher placement. Comparisons are based on available provider information and user-selected preferences.
Partnership
We work alongside providers to help keep program information current and easier for individuals and families to explore and compare.
Important Information
Treatment Finder is an informational comparison platform and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or emergency services. Comparison results are based on user-selected preferences and available provider information. Users should confirm program details, insurance coverage, availability, and admission criteria directly with providers before making healthcare decisions.
