How this clinic compares in Shreveport

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

Intensive Specialty Hospital is one of 17 buprenorphine providers listed in Shreveport. On the coverage and access signals the registry records, it is indistinguishable from 1 other Shreveport clinic, so treat the points below as the real differences rather than any ranking.

What stands out here

  • It is a federally qualified health center. Only 2 of 17 Shreveport clinics do (12%).
  • It is accredited by the Joint Commission. Only 4 of 17 Shreveport clinics do (24%).
  • It runs a program for pregnant or postpartum patients. Only 4 of 17 Shreveport clinics do (24%).

What it does not report

  • No record that it offers telehealth. 71% of Shreveport 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.
  • How soon a first appointment is available, and what to bring.
