What we treat
Opioid treatment for men, with medical detox on site.
Prescription painkillers, heroin, fentanyl. However it started, the withdrawal is the wall most men hit — and it is the part that medical support changes most.
Why stopping alone is so hard
Withdrawal is brutal but not usually dangerous
Opioid withdrawal is one of the most physically miserable experiences there is. With medical support it is manageable; alone, most people stop because they cannot stand it, not because they changed their mind.
Tolerance makes returning risky
After even a short break, the dose that was normal is no longer safe. This is why the period right after a failed attempt is the most dangerous one.
Fentanyl changed the arithmetic
Supply is unpredictable in a way it was not ten years ago. That is a reason to get help sooner, not a reason to despair.

How treatment works here
Evaluation on arrival
A medical history and physical with our staff. That is what determines whether you need detox and what else is going on underneath.

Questions people ask us
Do you offer medication-assisted treatment?
Yes, where it is clinically appropriate. MAT is one of the services offered here, and the decision is made with you.
How long does withdrawal last?
For short-acting opioids the worst is usually the first three to five days, with sleep and mood taking longer to settle. Medical support changes that curve considerably.
What if I have overdosed before?
Tell us. It changes the medical picture and it is important information, not a mark against you.
Do you treat mental health alongside this?
Yes, in the same plan rather than as a referral out. Treatment here is overseen by psychologists, psychiatrists and counsellors. Dual diagnosis →
Will my employer or family find out?
Not from us. Nothing is shared with anyone without your written authorization.
What does it cost?
That depends on your plan. Most major insurance is accepted, verification is free and takes about five minutes. Verify insurance →
