Opioid addiction has gripped the nation in a crisis of epic proportions. If you're on a quest to reclaim your life from opioid dependency, our premier opioid treatment clinic is here to help guide your journey towards recovery. Our integrated approach to opioid treatment combines evidence-based strategies with compassion and respect throughout your entire journey with us. With an individualized focus on both physical and psychological well-being, we are committed to helping those battling opioid addiction find a path towards lasting recovery.

Understanding Opioid Addiction Opioid addiction can happen to anyone. Whether it's prescription opioids, such as oxycodone or hydrocodone, or illegal drugs like heroin and fentanyl, opioid addiction is a complex condition that requires comprehensive treatment. Our highly skilled team of addiction specialists, psychiatrists, and therapists work together to address each aspect of opioid addiction.

Holistic Opioid Treatment Services At CORE Medical Clinic, we offer a comprehensive range of services designed to address opioid addiction from all angles. This includes medication-assisted treatment (MAT), behavioral therapies, and counseling. Our approach is rooted in understanding that opioid addiction isn't just a physical problem, but a complex interplay of mental, emotional, and social issues.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a core component of our opioid addiction treatment program. Using FDA-approved medications like buprenorphine (Suboxone), methadone, and naltrexone (Vivitrol), our experts aim to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and cravings, providing a safer and more comfortable recovery process.

Behavioral Therapies and Counseling Behavioral therapy and counseling form an integral part of our opioid treatment program. Through cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and group and individual counseling sessions, our therapists help patients cope with cravings, avoid triggers, and deal with emotional and psychological issues that may be linked to their addiction.

Aftercare Services We understand that the journey to recovery extends beyond the initial treatment period. As part of our commitment to holistic care, we offer robust aftercare services to support long-term recovery, including ongoing counseling, relapse prevention strategies, and a supportive community for those in recovery.

Why Choose CORE? Our commitment to providing personalized, patient-centered care sets us apart from other opioid treatment centers. From the moment you walk into our clinic, you're treated as an individual with unique needs and goals. We work closely with you to develop a customized opioid addiction treatment plan that aligns with your lifestyle and recovery objectives. Break free from opioid addiction and start your journey towards a healthier, happier life at our opioid treatment clinic. Contact us today to learn more about our comprehensive opioid treatment services and take the first step towards recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Initially, an intake assessment and admission medical history and exam is completed by counseling and medical staff. Treatment options are discussed and a course of action taken. Medication recommendations are made and initated to balance safety and benefit as much as possible. It is very important to let counseling, dispensing and medical staff know how the medication is working or not so appropriate adjustments can be made.

At C.O.R.E., we strive to individualize treatment and maximize success. There is no time pressure. Some do well with short term treatment while others benefit from long term treatment. We know relapse is common and can have disasterous results. We work hard to treat each patient as long as is required to achieve long term success.

First we work closely with the individual to achieve a “normalizing’ dose of medication to alleviate withdrawal and craving while minimizing side effects. Working closely with medical, dispensing and counseling staff most often allows us to achieve this goal in the first few days to weeks.

Not necessarily. C.O.R.E. Medical Clinic serves patients in Sacramento, West Sacramento, and surrounding areas. People often choose a clinic based on accessibility, treatment needs, and location.

C.O.R.E. Medical Clinic accepts several health insurance plans, including Medi-Cal, MHN, Anthem, Medicare, Humana, Kaiser Permanente, Optum, Blue Shield of California, Magellan Health, and Western Health Advantage.

As most patients entering treatment know, opioid withdrawal is awful and inevitably leads to continued use. We are sensitive to how terrible the craving, restlessness, anxiety, bone aches, upset stomach, nausea, vomiting, sweating, etc. can be. If alcohol, benzodiazepines, stimulants, or other drugs are involved withdrawal can be medically dangerous and require residential or coordinated medical care. Opioid withdrawal can be greatly reduced or eliminated by the early doses provided but again frequent contact with treatment staff for medication adjustments is very important.

The great majority of patients seeking treatment for opioid addiction can continue their normal life, including work, while they are working to find their ’normalizing’ medication dose. If residential or coordinated medical care is required, some time off may be necessary but again this will be individualized. Clinic hours are designed to accommodate the vast majority of working patients.

We work hard to educate patients about the benefits and safety of MAT. Many myths circulate about MAT such as it causing liver problems, bone problems and being harder to get off than fentanyl or heroin. These are absolutely false and will be discussed in detail with your treatment staff. Patients who receive MAT are much healthier than patients not in treatment. Learning to manage common side effects like constipation and weight gain can make patients healthier than they have ever been. All opioids are hard to get off but MAT can set up a very careful and safe detox when a patient is ready. An abrupt short term detox is not advised and can be difficult but a gradual, medically safe detox minimizes withdrawal symptoms. Supplemental safe, non addicting medications can further reduce unpleasant withdrawal symptoms.
