CleanSlate Centers opens new Wisconsin location

CleanSlate Centers, a Nashville-based provider of outpatient alcohol and opioid addiction treatment services, has opened a new location in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, bringing its number of facilities in the state up to 13.

Overall, CleanSlate operates facilities in 11 states, nine of which are east of the Mississippi River.

The new facility offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and accepts Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance. It will be open five days a week.

SaVida Health enters Maine

Another Nashville-based addiction treatment company is expanding its footprint.

SaVida Health has opened a new location in Biddeford, Maine — its first in the state and its 20th overall across six states.

The provider offers patients individualized MAT with the drug suboxone and accepts individuals who are uninsured as well as those with MediCare and MaineCare.

BayMark Health Services adds new Ohio clinic

BayMark Health Services — a Lewisville, Texas-based MAT provider of opioid use disorder treatment — has opened a new clinic in Columbus, Ohio, its fifth new Buckeye State location within a year.

MedMark Treatment Centers-Columbus East offers methadone and buprenorphine treatment, along with individual, group and family counseling services. It accepts many insurance plans and also offers assistance to pregnant individuals seeking treatment, according to the center’s website.

Coming soon

Spero Health to open new Tennessee clinic

Brentwood, Tennessee-based Spero Health, a provider of outpatient addiction treatment in four states, will open a new Tennessee location on January 30.

The Clarksville Spero Health Clinic — located in Clarksville along the Tennessee-Kentucky border in the northwest part of the state — will provide walk-in service as well as appointments.

It will accept TennCare along with selected commercial insurance plans.

Planned

Universal Health Services resubmits proposal for new Oregon hospital

Universal Health Services (NYSE:UHS) has filed a new bid to construct a $47 million psychiatric facility in the Portland, Oregon-area.

UHS’ bid comes three years after state officials initially rejected a previous bid by the Pennsylvania health care giant.

The new proposal — which is still not complete, according to the Oregon-based Lund Report — requests permission to build the facility in nearby Wilsonville.

That’s also where UHS initially hoped to its planned 100-bed hospital back in 2017, before its request was denied by Oregon’s hospital authority, whose reasoning at the time was that inpatient psychiatric treatment is costlier to the state than outpatient treatment.
