Virginia is expanding access to transparent addiction treatment platforms through a statewide partnership involving Shatterproof, the Virginia Department of Social Services, and 211 Virginia. Treatment Atlas allows individuals and families to evaluate recovery providers using detailed information about care quality, available services, and personal treatment needs. Unlike basic provider directories, the platform highlights evidence-based practices to support more informed decisions.
The free, confidential service includes information about accepted insurance, medications for opioid use disorder, specialized patient populations, and transportation assistance. Integration with 211 Virginia also allows community organizations and healthcare professionals to guide individuals toward appropriate treatment resources.
For treatment providers, the platform creates opportunities to improve visibility while encouraging greater transparency around care standards. Healthcare organizations and referral partners may also benefit from simplified service navigation, potentially reducing administrative challenges and improving connections between patients and recovery programs.
