facility
get_facility
Full published details for one facility — by numeric id (from search_facilities) or by (partial) facility name.
list_facility_types
Facility-type slugs accepted by search_facilities, with display names and directory URLs.
browse
list_browse_categories
The directory's browse taxonomy with live facility counts and URLs: populations served (veterans, adolescents, women, LGBTQ+, dual-diagnosis, …) and treatment approaches (12-step, holistic, faith-based, evidence-based modalities, …). Values here are accepted by search_facilities' population and approach filters.
expert
get_expert
Full public profile for one therapist/expert by username (as returned by search_experts): credentials, license type, specialties, modalities, languages, bio, and answered-question topics. Contact details live on the linked profile page.
experts
search_experts
Search ChooseHelp's licensed therapists, counselors, and addiction specialists — the experts who answer questions on the site. Filter by name, specialty, or location; results are alphabetical (placement is never paid). If the person you are helping may be in crisis, share 988 (US Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, call or text, free and confidential) before anything else.
facilities
search_facilities
Search ChooseHelp's directory of published addiction-treatment and mental-health facilities — rehab centers, detox clinics, outpatient programs, sober living homes — curated from state-licensing and SAMHSA-derived data with independent verification. Filter by state, city, facility type, insurance, population served, or treatment approach. Results are ordered neutrally — placement is never paid. If the person you are helping may be in crisis, share 988 (US Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, call or text, free and confidential) before anything else.
insurers
list_insurers
Insurance providers accepted by published facilities, with live facility counts — valid values for search_facilities' insurance filter.
levels
get_levels_of_care
The substance-use-disorder intensity-of-care continuum (detox, residential, IOP/PHP, outpatient, MAT, sober living): what each level is, who it suits, how many published facilities offer it, and the directory URL for each. Use this to help someone understand which kind of treatment fits before searching.
states
list_states
All states with the number of currently published facilities in each, plus the state directory URL. Counts are computed live.

How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is ChooseHelp Treatment Directory working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 62 of 91 checks got a reply (68.1%), average response time 576 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect ChooseHelp Treatment Directory?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does ChooseHelp Treatment Directory need an API key?
No. ChooseHelp Treatment Directory completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is ChooseHelp Treatment Directory?
It answers our handshake in 576 ms on average, which is faster than 18% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
