Comprehensive Opioid Addiction Treatment at CORE Medical Clinic in Sacramento

CORE Medical Clinic is dedicated to combating the opioid crisis in Sacramento with compassionate, evidence-based care. As fentanyl and other synthetic opioids continue to affect the community, we offer comprehensive opioid treatment programs (OTPs) tailored to each patient’s needs. Our goal is to support those struggling with opioid use disorder (OUD) through proven methods, including medication-assisted treatment (MAT), counseling, and ongoing support.

Expert Opioid Treatment

Our specialized services include methadone and buprenorphine (Suboxone) treatments, providing essential support to manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Through personalized care plans, we ensure patients receive the most effective treatment tailored to their specific needs.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

MAT combines FDA-approved medications like methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone with counseling to manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce relapse risk. This approach helps normalize brain chemistry and block opioid effects, supporting a safe recovery path.

Detox and Withdrawal Management

Our opioid detox center offers a safe environment for managing withdrawal under medical supervision. Our team works closely with patients to develop a detox plan that minimizes discomfort and meets their medical and emotional needs.

Counseling and Support Groups

We offer individual and group counseling to address the underlying issues of addiction. With trauma-informed care and life skills education, our patients gain the tools needed for lasting recovery. Our case management team provides access to resources and ongoing support.

If you or a loved one is struggling with opioid addiction in Sacramento, CORE Medical Clinic provides comprehensive care, from MAT and detox services to counseling and aftercare planning. Contact us today to take the first step towards recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

At C.O.R.E., we strive to individualize treatment and maximize success. There is no time pressure. Some patients do well with short-term treatment while others benefit from long-term treatment. We know relapse is common and can have devastating consequences, so we continue treatment as long as necessary to help each patient achieve lasting success.

We work hard to educate patients about the benefits and safety of MAT. Many myths exist regarding methadone and other medications, but these concerns are discussed thoroughly with your treatment team. MAT is closely monitored, and when patients are ready, medications can be tapered safely under medical supervision to minimize withdrawal symptoms.

We work closely with each patient to achieve a "normalizing" medication dose that relieves withdrawal symptoms and cravings while minimizing side effects. Through collaboration between medical providers, counselors, and dispensing staff, most patients reach this goal within days or weeks.

Your first visit includes an intake assessment, medical history, physical examination, and counseling evaluation. Together we'll discuss treatment options and develop an individualized care plan. Medication doses are adjusted carefully based on your response, and regular communication with your care team is encouraged.

Not necessarily. C.O.R.E. Medical Clinic serves patients throughout Sacramento, West Sacramento, and surrounding communities. Many patients choose us because of our accessibility, treatment approach, and convenient location.

Opioid withdrawal is extremely uncomfortable and often leads to continued opioid use without treatment. While opioid withdrawal itself is usually not life-threatening, withdrawal involving alcohol, benzodiazepines, stimulants, or other substances can require coordinated medical care. Our treatment program helps minimize withdrawal symptoms through carefully monitored medication adjustments.

Most patients can continue working and maintaining their normal daily routines while beginning treatment. If residential or coordinated medical care is necessary, temporary time away from work may be recommended. Our clinic hours are designed to accommodate the schedules of working patients whenever possible.

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