Yes. It’s structured outpatient care for opioid use disorder, so you can keep working and caring for family. This location offers methadone, and also office-based buprenorphine as a daily sublingual form or a long-acting injection. That’s the opioid addiction care here, and it stays outpatient.

Counselors work with you on your own recovery goals. You’ll also get education on addiction and on preventing a relapse. Community referrals are part of the support, and so is help with discharge planning. Guest medication services are available too. Those pieces sit among addiction therapy options.

You must be 18 or older. You’ll need photo identification and evidence of opioid dependence from an initial assessment. Coordinated pregnancy treatment is a named service too. If pregnancy applies, that’s the specific service to know about.

You can pay with Medi-Cal, Medicare, a Medicare Advantage plan or most private insurances. Self-pay is available too. Medicaid, commercial insurance and VA Health Care are accepted as well. That’s the insurance coverage for rehab available at this clinic.

Methadone and buprenorphine are both used. Methadone blocks the effects of other opioids and helps with cravings. It also eases withdrawal symptoms so they’re easier to manage. Buprenorphine is the other option for opioid addiction. It works somewhat like methadone, but the benefits differ.
