What the SAMHSA Record Shows About University of Alabama at Birmingham

University of Alabama at Birmingham is a substance use treatment operated by State government in Birmingham, Alabama. 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 530 Beacon Parkway West, Suite 300, Birmingham, AL 35209.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 10 distinct service lines (Co-occurring disorder treatment, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Intensive outpatient, Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), Mental health services, Motivational interviewing, Outpatient, Substance use treatment, Telehealth, Trauma-informed care), 3 substance or condition categories treated (Alcohol, General substance use disorders, Opioids), and 8 clinical treatment approaches (Brief intervention, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Contingency management/motivational incentives, Motivational interviewing, Relapse prevention, Substance use disorder counseling, Telemedicine/telehealth therapy, Trauma-related counseling). It serves 5 specific population groups (Justice-involved individuals, Persons who have experienced trauma, Persons with DUI/DWI, Persons with co-occurring disorders, Women) with 1 language of care (Sign language services for the deaf and hard of hearing). 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, a sliding-fee scale, payment assistance, plus 4 specific payment methods enumerated in the survey (Cash or self-payment, Federal, or any government funding for substance use treatment programs, Medicaid, SAMHSA funding/block grants).

University of Alabama at Birmingham reports 32 attributes across services, populations, payment, and language, in line with the Alabama statewide median of 32 (189 facilities listed).
