We specialize in medication-assisted treatment for opioid and narcotic addictions and dependence. We have served the needs of those suffering from addiction to heroin and pain medicine since 1983.

This staff includes advanced practice registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, masters level counseling staff, certified addiction professionals, physician assistants, licensed mental health counselors, and licensed clinical social workers to assist patients on the path to recovery.
