Are you battling Opioid Use Disorder? You're not a hardcore addict, but you're unable to control opioid use despite negative consequences for yourself, your family and your job.

Opioid Use Disorder is a chronic medical illness which requires pharmacotherapy for effective treatment. We have been treating opioid use disorder for over 10 years.

All patients are seen during the course of our usual hours including those being seen for opioid us disorder- no one knows the purpose of your visit.

We are now accepting new and former buprenorphine patients as a results of an increase in number of patients we are allowed to treat.

Respectful, Dignified care

Buprenorphine is prescribed for as long as it continues to benefit you the patient.

Buprenorphine can be prescribed at the same time as benzodiazepines if appropriate with necessary precautions. Black Box Warnings have been removed by FDA.

Behavioral Treatment and Support is arranged which is appropriate and desired for each patient on an individual basis.

Drug testing and pill counts are used as tools to support recovery and address relapses, not as punitive measures.

Relapse is treated with additional support and resources rather than cessation of the buprenorphine treatment.
