Early Serious Mental Illness Treatment Locator
Individuals who experience a first onset of serious mental illness - which can include a first episode of psychosis - may experience symptoms that include problems in perception (such as seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting or feeling something that is not real), thinking (such as believing in something that is not real even when presented with facts), mood, and social functioning. There are effective treatments available and the earlier that an individual receives treatment, the greater likelihood that these treatments can lead to better outcomes and enable people to live full and productive lives with their family and friends.
States requesting treatment facilities information to be placed on the ESMI Treatment Locator should submit their request to ESMI@samhsa.hhs.gov.
