How this clinic compares in Santa Barbara

This is a hospital-based program, so treatment happens as an inpatient rather than in a clinic office.

Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse is one of 11 buprenorphine providers listed in Santa Barbara. On the coverage and access signals the registry records, it is indistinguishable from 1 other Santa Barbara clinic, so treat the points below as the real differences rather than any ranking.

  • It offers a sliding fee scale. Only 3 of 11 Santa Barbara clinics do (27%).
  • It offers payment assistance. Only 3 of 11 Santa Barbara clinics do (27%).

What it does not report

  • No record that it offers telehealth. 64% of Santa Barbara clinics do, so this is worth confirming rather than assuming.

Worth asking when you call

  • Whether they are taking new patients, which changes faster than the registry updates.
  • The self-pay price for a first visit, and whether the medication is billed separately.
