Accessibility statement
Looking for mental health or addiction treatment is hard enough. The tools you use to find it should not add barriers. Treatment Finder is committed to making this site usable by everyone, including people who rely on screen readers, keyboard navigation, voice control, magnification, or reduced-motion settings.
Our standard
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. The site is currently partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 AA: most of the site meets the standard, and we are honest about the parts we have not yet verified or fixed. Accessibility work here is ongoing, not a one-time checkbox.
What we've built
The site was reviewed and remediated against WCAG 2.1 AA in July 2026. Measures in place include:
- A skip-to-content link as the first focusable element on every page, and a main landmark on every page including loading and error states.
- Full keyboard operability with visible two-tone focus indicators that stay visible on both light and dark surfaces.
- Color contrast that meets AA ratios, including a dedicated text-safe version of our accent color.
- Touch targets of at least 44 pixels for interactive controls.
- Status messages and loading states announced to screen readers via live regions, and control states (pressed, selected, current) conveyed in markup rather than by color alone.
- Respect for your reduced-motion system preference.
- A heading structure and named navigation landmarks that support jumping through the page instead of reading it linearly.
- Collapsible content (like our FAQ sections) built with native HTML elements so the full text is always available to assistive technology and search tools.
Known limitations
- Our conformance work so far is based on code review and automated checks. Comprehensive manual testing with screen readers and screen magnification is still in progress, so some issues may remain that those tests would catch.
- Some facility listing content — such as photos supplied by providers or drawn from public sources — may arrive without meaningful descriptions. We provide sensible fallbacks, but the source data is not always complete.
- Facility websites we link to are operated by third parties, and we cannot control their accessibility.
Found a barrier? Tell us.
If any part of this site is difficult or impossible for you to use, we genuinely want to know, and we will prioritize fixing it. Reach us through the contact page and describe what happened, the page you were on, and the browser or assistive technology you were using if you can. If the contact form itself is the barrier, any format of message is fine — plain text is always enough.
