Our Services at This Location
Methadone Treatment
Methadone is an opioid agonist blocker and helps to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms when administered therapeutically by a medical professional. The dose is ingested, typically in liquid form, and is tapered off in accordance with cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
Suboxone Treatment
Suboxone is a combination of the opioid agonist blocker Buprenorphine, and the overdose medication Naloxone. The medication is dissolved under the tongue and is a very safe option due to its limited effect.
Sublocade Treatment
Sublocade is an injectable form of Buprenorphine that releases slowly over a 30 day period. This treatment is ideal for patients that struggle to access daily medication, and should only be administered by a medical professional.
Kadian Treatment
A newer treatment meant for severe opioid addictions. Kadian is a form of oral morphine that releases slowly over an extended period of time, acting as a full opioid agonist blocker.
Hepatitis C Screening + Treatment
Because Hep C is a common liver disease among people who inject drugs, we routinely screen our patients and provide additional support for patients who test positive.
Doctors’ Services
Our patients receive professional assessment in order to determine the best treatment plan and medication for their needs.
Pharmacy Services
We provide our patients reliable access to medication through our interconnected pharmacy network, many of which are co-located with our treatment clinics.

When patients need additional support, we help connect them with the appropriate community resources.
