How this clinic compares in Des Moines

This is a day program: you attend for a substantial part of the day and go home at night.

New Connections is one of 20 buprenorphine providers listed in Des Moines. On the coverage and access signals the registry records, it is indistinguishable from 4 other Des Moines clinics, so treat the points below as the real differences rather than any ranking.

What stands out here

  • It is accredited by the Joint Commission. Only 2 of 20 Des Moines clinics do (10%).
  • It has sign language services. Only 4 of 20 Des Moines clinics do (20%).
  • It accepts Medicare. Only 5 of 20 Des Moines clinics do (25%).

What it does not report

  • No record that it accepts self-pay. 80% of Des Moines 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.
  • How soon a first appointment is available, and what to bring.
