Overcoming Opioid Addiction with Lasting Support

Breaking the Cycle of Opioid Addiction with Proven Treatments

Opioid addiction continues to devastate communities, leaving individuals and families searching for effective solutions. A recent news report highlights increasing efforts to combat the fentanyl crisis, including stricter policies and harm reduction initiatives. However, while supply control is crucial, experts stress thatlong-term recovery solutions like Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)play a vital role in addressing the crisis.

AtCORE Medical Clinic, we recognize that treatment is not just about stopping drug use—it’s abouthelping individuals rebuild their lives with comprehensive support. Ourmethadone clinics and opioid treatment programs (OTP)inSacramento and West Sacramentoprovideevidence-based solutionsto supportlong-term recovery.

The Urgency of Seeking Treatment

A growing body of research underscores that addiction isnot just about drug availability—it’s also linked toeconomic struggles, mental health challenges, and lack of access to quality treatment. A recent study found thatlack of financial mobility is a key driver of overdose deaths, highlighting the need forstructured recovery support, employment assistance, and long-term treatment plans—all of whichCORE Medical Clinicprovides.

Without structured assistance,relapse rates can soar as high as 85%within the first year. AtCORE Medical Clinic, we address these challenges by offering:

✔Personalized medication plans, includingmethadone, buprenorphine (Suboxone), and naltrexone therapy ✔Counseling and behavioral therapyto targetsubstance use disorder (SUD) ✔Long-term opioid withdrawal managementto reduce relapse risk ✔Referrals for employment and housing assistance

Our structured approach ensures thatpatients not only receive immediate treatment but also have the resources to rebuild their lives.

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.
