Often asked questions:

What is opioid addiction?

The physical dependency on pain pills or heroin that is causing problems in someone’s life.

What medications are offered?

  • Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) is a medication that helps with cravings and stops withdrawal
  • Vivitrol (naltrexone) is a monthly injection that helps with cravings and prevents opioid drugs from causing a high

What if I want to kick without buprenorphine (Suboxone)?

We want to support you with your goals. To set you up for success, we recommend treatment with buprenorphine for a time period so you can focus on your recovery and end the cycle of addiction.  When the time is right, we will recommend a slow taper off the buprenorphine.  Studies have shown 90 in 100 people can be successfully sober with buprenorphine.

How much does it cost?

We treat mainly people with Medi-Cal insurance.  However, if you are not insured you have no need to worry. We can still help you.  Just call us and you can start treatment while we help you get insurance.
