New Jersey care-setting mix

High-completeness desk: Creative Change Counseling
Signature: MAT flagged. Creative Change Counseling sits in the denser third of N-SUMHSS listings by self-reported attribute count (49 attrs; corpus bands ≥37). The useful read is which modalities and payment channels are actually flagged, not the raw count alone.
Recorded care modalities: outpatient, telehealth. Payment channels on file: Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance. Service lines 12, approaches 12, populations 15, languages 0. This record is one of the more thoroughly documented substance use treatment listings in New Jersey: it reports 49 distinct service, population, payment, and language attributes, placing it in the top 5% of 490 facilities statewide (state median: 34).

Extended Profile: How Creative Change Counseling Compares Locally
Creative Change Counseling's SAMHSA record is unusually complete: 49 reported attributes places it at rank #24 of 490 New Jersey facilities by self-reported completeness (top 5%). Narrowed to just Trenton, it ranks #2 of 16 local facilities on the same measure, a comparison the statewide figure alone can't show since a facility can be a state-wide standout while being one of several similarly detailed programs in its own city, or vice versa.
A high self-reported-completeness rank is not a clinical quality signal, SAMHSA does not audit or verify the survey responses facilities submit. It does mean this specific record answers more of the practical questions (which populations, which languages, which payment types) before you have to call and ask.
