Our Services at This Location
Methadone Treatment
As an opioid agonist blocker, Methadone is administered therapeutically to help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. The dosage is taken orally and reduced overtime until cravings or withdrawal symptoms are gone.
Suboxone Treatment
Suboxone contains Buprenorphine and Naloxone. Combined they block opioid receptors to prevent the effects of other opioids, with a built in ceiling effect preventing overdose or misuse.
Sublocade Treatment
Buprenorphine is administered as an injection by a medical professional once a month. The medication releases slowly, benefiting patients who otherwise have difficulty accessing or taking a daily medication.
Kadian Treatment
Kadian is a form of morphine that is taken orally with an extended release. It is a full opioid agonist blocker and is used for more severe opioid addictions.
Hepatitis C Screening + Treatment
We routinely screen our patients for Hep C, a liver disease more common in people who inject drugs. If blood tests reveal an infection, we help access medication and additional support.
Doctors’ Services
Our patients receive professional assessment in order to determine the best treatment plan and medication for their needs.
Pharmacy Services
We operate a network of full service pharmacies, many of which are co-located with our treatment clinics. These pharmacies ensure seamless access to treatment medication.
Safe Use Supplies
By providing safe equipment and educational resources to patients, drug related infections and harm are greatly reduced, and connections to health and social services are increased.
Care Referrals
We help connect our patients with additional community resources and support as needed.
Naloxone Kits
Naloxone kits can help someone survive in the event of an overdose while waiting for emergency medical professionals. Anyone who uses or knows someone who uses opioids should carry one. Get them for free at any of our clinics.Recovery is Possible
