The Opioid Treatment Program at SRHD provides treatment for opioid use disorder. Opioids are a class of substances that include heroin, morphine hydrocodone and fentanyl.
Through the program, clients receive personalized treatment with a combination of medication and therapy-based intervention to help them stop using opioids while supporting their mental and physical well-being.
Clients must participate in an initial medical intake, bio-psycho-social assessment, and urine drug screen to enroll in the program. Once enrolled, clients work with program staff to understand their desired outcomes and together, develop goals and customized individual service plans (ISP). ISPs include medication-assisted treatment, counseling, and health and physical monitoring.
Medication-assisted treatment helps patients manage their withdrawal symptoms with methadone and buprenorphine. Clients also receive one-on-one and group counseling sessions, yearly health physicals, and on-site mental health counseling as needed.
Naloxone is a prescription medicine that temporarily stops the effect of opioids. Learn more about how this medication can help prevent an overdose.
