What the SAMHSA Record Shows About Butler VA Healthcare System

Butler VA Healthcare System is a substance use treatment operated by Federal Government; U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in Butler, Pennsylvania. The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 3 primary care modalities (residential, outpatient, telehealth), which shapes both how treatment is delivered and how intake is scheduled. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is reported as available, meaning FDA-approved medications such as methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone may be combined with counseling for opioid or alcohol use disorder. The full postal address on file is 353 North Duffy Road, Butler, PA 16001.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 13 distinct service lines (12-step facilitation, Co-occurring disorder treatment, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Intensive outpatient, Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), Mental health services, Motivational interviewing, Outpatient, Substance use treatment, Suicide prevention services, Telehealth, Transitional housing / sober living, Trauma-informed care), 3 substance or condition categories treated (Alcohol, General substance use disorders, Opioids), and 11 clinical treatment approaches (12-step facilitation, Anger management, Brief intervention, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Contingency management/motivational incentives, Matrix Model, Motivational interviewing, Relapse prevention, Substance use disorder counseling, Telemedicine/telehealth therapy, Trauma-related counseling). It serves 16 specific population groups (Active duty military, Adults, Justice-involved individuals, Men, Military families, Persons affected by intimate partner violence, Persons who have experienced sexual abuse, Persons who have experienced trauma, Persons with DUI/DWI, Persons with HIV/AIDS, Persons with co-occurring disorders, Persons with co-occurring pain, Pregnant or postpartum individuals, Veterans, Women, Young adults) with 0 languages of care. Those figures give a rough signal of programmatic breadth, a higher number of approaches and populations usually indicates more structured clinical programming rather than a single-modality operation. Payment-wise, the record confirms Medicaid, Medicare, payment assistance, plus 4 specific payment methods enumerated in the survey (Federal military insurance (e.g., TRICARE), Federal, or any government funding for substance use treatment programs, Medicaid, Medicare).

This record is one of the more thoroughly documented substance use treatment listings in Pennsylvania: it reports 48 distinct service, population, payment, and language attributes, placing it in the top 2% of 757 facilities statewide (state median: 32). More attributes reported generally means more of your specific questions (payment type, language, care setting) are answered before you call.

Extended Profile: How Butler VA Healthcare System Compares Locally

Butler VA Healthcare System's SAMHSA record is unusually complete: 48 reported attributes places it at rank #14 of 757 Pennsylvania facilities by self-reported completeness (top 2%). Narrowed to just Butler, it ranks #1 of 10 local facilities on the same measure, a comparison the statewide figure alone can't show since a facility can be a state-wide standout while being one of several similarly detailed programs in its own city, or vice versa.

A high self-reported-completeness rank is not a clinical quality signal, SAMHSA does not audit or verify the survey responses facilities submit. It does mean this specific record answers more of the practical questions (which populations, which languages, which payment types) before you have to call and ask.
