VA.gov links on VA.gov SUD Locator are also BROKEN (Part 2)

As it goes with link rot…the FindTreatment.gov database wasn't ever the only place that the broken VA.gov URLs are a problem. Our research from last week highlighted the edges of an issue with how the VA and SAMHSA are handling URLs: 61% of the VA.gov URLs on FindTreatment.gov (SAMHSA's website) are broken.

This is bad, sloppy, preventable, and fixable.
