How this clinic compares in Chicago

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

South Shore Hospital is one of 197 buprenorphine providers listed in Chicago. On the coverage and access signals the registry records, it is indistinguishable from 7 other Chicago 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 14 of 197 Chicago clinics do (7%).
  • It also offers methadone. Only 24 of 197 Chicago clinics do (12%).
  • It is a federally qualified health center. Only 45 of 197 Chicago clinics do (23%).

What it does not report

  • No record that it offers telehealth. 71% of Chicago 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.
