Substance Use Support Services

What is substance use disorder?

If you cannot live without opioids, painkillers, cocaine, meth, heroin or any other similar substance, you have a substance use disorder. And while it’s hard to beat addiction, it can be done.

We use Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for opioid dependency, which is considered the "gold standard" in care.

For other addictions, we can refer you to a nearby facility for medically supervised withdrawal management, in-patient or residential rehabilitation.

Benefits of substance use support services

If substance use disorder is holding you back from living your life to the fullest, treatment can help you get back on your feet. Results will vary depending on your unique situation, but generally, benefits of treatment include:

• Recovery. Our addiction specialists will work with you to find the right treatment path that will help you overcome addiction.
• Connection. We see you as a whole person, not just your addiction, to help you improve both your physical and mental health for the long run.
• Support. We connect you with the resources and support you need to rebuild your life, including housing, employment and legal assistance.

You're not alone in this. We're accepting new patients.
