Treatment steps

 Your recovery begins by visiting our clinic. From your first day forward, our team will guide and support you throughout every stage of treatment. 

 A member of our compassionate clinical staff will conduct a confidential screening and face-to-face assessment to determine your eligibility for treatment.   You can even start filling out initial paperwork online using our homepage QR codes!

 If you meet initial admission criteria, you will complete your intake paperwork. For convenience, forms may be completed in the clinic or online through this website.

Once your intake materials are finalized, you will meet with members of our medical and counseling team.

Your initial medical appointment includes a comprehensive evaluation with the physician and nursing staff. This assessment reviews your medical history, substance use history, and overall health needs.

As part of the intake process, the nurse will collect laboratory samples, including blood and urine, to support safe treatment planning and identify any potential health concerns.

You will also meet with a counselor, who will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan. This conversation may include your personal goals, family considerations, career aspirations, and other life factors that support long-term recovery.

 Once admission is approved by the clinical team, you may begin methadone or buprenorphine treatment as determined appropriate by the physician.

Treatment often begins with daily clinic dosing, with the opportunity to earn take-home doses over time based on demonstrated stability, safety, and program compliance.

As a patient, you will actively participate in your treatment plan, which may include medication dosing, counseling, physician visits, and periodic drug screenings.

Participation expectations are designed to support patient safety, promote recovery, and meet clinical and regulatory standards. Specific requirements vary based on individual treatment needs and payer guidelines.

Our clinic follows a whole-person approach to care. While medication helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, lasting recovery also involves understanding behavioral patterns, emotional health, and life circumstances.

We work with patients to strengthen coping skills, improve stability, rebuild relationships, and create sustainable paths forward. Recovery is not simply about stopping drug use — it is about rebuilding a healthy, meaningful life.
