Get Started With Opioid Addiction Treatment
Taking the first step toward treatment can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to figure it out alone. At our methadone clinic, our team will guide you through the intake process, answer your questions, and help determine the treatment plan that best fits your needs.
Walk-ins are welcome during business hours for new patient appointments. You can meet our staff, tour the clinic, and complete your initial assessment. If you decide to begin treatment, please plan to spend 2–3 hours at your first appointment. This visit includes your medical evaluation, counseling assessment, and, when clinically appropriate, starting medication including methadone or suboxone.
