Opioid dependence can develop quickly, whether from prescribed pain medications like oxycodone or hydrocodone, or from substances such as heroin and fentanyl. Many people want to stop but fear the severe withdrawal symptoms that come with it, including nausea, muscle pain, anxiety, insomnia, and cravings. Without medical care, opioid withdrawal can feel overwhelming and increase the risk of relapse.
Our outpatient opioid detox program provides a safe and discreet alternative to inpatient treatment. We use evidence-based protocols, daily medical monitoring, and when appropriate, medication-assisted support to ease withdrawal symptoms and stabilize clients. Treatment is led by Dr. Christopher Lord, our board-certified Medical Director, and delivered in a professional, confidential environment that allows you to remain connected to work and family.
