How this clinic compares in Washington

This is an outpatient provider: you attend an appointment and go home the same day, with the prescription sent to a pharmacy.

Pilgrim Rest Therapeutic Services Inc is one of 37 buprenorphine providers listed in Washington. On the coverage and access signals the registry records, it is indistinguishable from 4 other Washington clinics, so treat the points below as the real differences rather than any ranking.

What stands out here

  • It offers payment assistance. Only 7 of 37 Washington clinics do (19%).
  • It is a federally qualified health center. Only 9 of 37 Washington clinics do (24%).
  • It runs a program for pregnant or postpartum patients. Only 10 of 37 Washington clinics do (27%).

What it does not report

  • No record that it offers telehealth. 70% of Washington 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.
