Department Description

Founded in 2003, OBIC (formerly known as the Office-Based Buprenorphine Induction Clinic) provides treatment for individuals wanting to stop, cut back, or reduce the harms related to drug use. OBIC plays a central role in Community Behavioral Health Services' overall care of those with opioid use disorders by initiating buprenorphine treatment for opioid use disorder, stabilizing patients, and then transitioning them to ongoing buprenorphine care integrated with community-based primary care or mental health care. OBIC is centrally located at 1380 Howard Street with Behavioral Health Access Services and is funded by the San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH).
OBIC prepares patients for long-term treatment that is integrated with other aspects of health care. Patients served are largely indigent and many are homeless or marginally housed. As the first buprenorphine induction clinic in the country, OBIC has initiated treatment for well over 2,000 patients. All patients receive culturally, linguistically, and age-appropriate care based on best-practice principles. Emphasis is placed on eliminating the stigma associated with substance use and other behavioral health problems. For more information, visit .
