Treatments for Opioid Use Disorder

The center treats clients who are experiencing opioid use disorder (OUD), including heroin and fentanyl. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) uses small doses of medication that rewires the brain by blocking the pathway opioids activate. These medications reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Medications include Suboxone, naltrexone and methadone.

Counseling is offered as one on one sessions or group treatment. Clients learn how to develop healthy coping strategies to maintain sobriety.

Their Peer Support Specialists are people who have travelled the path of substance use and rehabilitation. With this experience they have a true understanding of what each client is going through. This provides a unique perspective to treatment.

Pregnancy Treatment Options for Opioid Use Disorder

Their Pregnancy Support Services offers treatment for pregnant women in a way that benefits mother and baby. The methadone treatment they provide is approved by the WHO and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

The center regularly tests clients using urine drug screen tests. These tests detect the presence of opiates, oxycodone, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine and amphetamines. This allows the treatment team to understand the progress of the client. Cannabis use is not tested for.
