What the SAMHSA Record Shows About Healthcare Alternative Systems Inc

Healthcare Alternative Systems Inc is a substance use treatment operated by Private non-profit organization in Chicago, Illinois. The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 2 primary care modalities (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 2755 West Armitage Avenue, Chicago, IL 60647.
