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
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 provide our patients reliable access to medication through our interconnected pharmacy network, many of which are co-located with our treatment clinics.
Safe Use Supplies
Sterile equipment and educational resources are provided for patients. This reduces drug related harm and infections while connecting people to health and social services.
Care Referrals
When patients need additional support, we help connect them with the appropriate community resources.
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
