How this clinic compares in Boise

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

Veterans Affairs Medical Center is one of 49 buprenorphine providers listed in Boise. On the coverage and access signals the registry records, it is indistinguishable from 18 other Boise clinics, so treat the points below as the real differences rather than any ranking.

What stands out here

  • It is CARF accredited. Only 4 of 49 Boise clinics do (8%).
  • It has sign language services. Only 4 of 49 Boise clinics do (8%).
  • It doses on site as an opioid treatment program. Only 5 of 49 Boise clinics do (10%).

What it does not report

  • No record that it accepts Medicaid. 90% of Boise clinics do, so this is worth confirming rather than assuming.
  • No record that it accepts self-pay. 88% of Boise 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.
