A free, confidential, first-of-its-kind tool to connect Hoosiers in need with appropriate addiction treatment has been launched.

It’s called “Shatterproof Treatment Atlas” and it gives Hoosiers and their loved ones a trusted resource to find treatment that meets their unique needs, anywhere in the state.

Indiana is one of 13 states to partner with Shatterproof, which is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to ending addiction, to launch the Treatment Atlas.

It offers an easy-to-use dashboard to allow individuals seeking treatment for substance use disorders to search for and compare programs through location, services offered, populations served and insurance accepted so they can make an informed decision.

To prepare for the statewide launch of Treatment Atlas, peer recovery coaches, 9-8-8 and 2-1-1 call center staff, care navigators, public defenders, parole officers, probation officers, mobile response and crisis response teams, and law enforcement personnel across the state were trained on how to use the dashboard to refer individuals to treatment.

The online platform can be accessed at TreatmentAtlas.org Individuals can also dial 2-1-1 to be connected to local treatment and resources. Information on recovery housing can still be found at https://www.in.gov/fssa/addiction/.
