Veterans Affairs Medical Center

What the SAMHSA Record Shows About Veterans Affairs Medical Center

Veterans Affairs Medical Center is a substance use treatment operated by Federal Government; U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in San Francisco, California. The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 3 primary care modalities (outpatient, detox, 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 4150 Clement Street, San Francisco, CA 94121.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 12 distinct service lines (Co-occurring disorder treatment, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Detoxification, Intensive outpatient, Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), Mental health services, Motivational interviewing, Outpatient, Substance use treatment, Suicide prevention services, Telehealth, Trauma-informed care), 3 substance or condition categories treated (Alcohol, General substance use disorders, Opioids), and 10 clinical treatment approaches (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 11 specific population groups (Justice-involved individuals, Men, 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, Veterans, 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 no payment channels confirmed in the SAMHSA record, plus 1 specific payment method enumerated in the survey (Federal, or any government funding for substance use treatment programs).

Veterans Affairs Medical Center reports 39 attributes across services, populations, payment, and language, in line with the California statewide median of 32 (1,580 facilities listed).
