How this clinic compares in Chicago

Healthcare Alternative Systems Inc is one of 197 buprenorphine providers listed in Chicago. On the coverage and access signals the registry records, it is indistinguishable from 18 other Chicago clinics, so treat the points below as the real differences rather than any ranking.

  • It is CARF accredited. Only 42 of 197 Chicago clinics do (21%).
  • It has Spanish language services. Only 74 of 197 Chicago clinics do (38%).

What it does not report

Worth asking when you call
