TREATMENT OPTIONS
What Are You Looking for Help With?
Find the treatment that fits what you’re dealing with—opioid or alcohol use, 7-OH and emerging opioids, or help getting through opioid withdrawal.
Treatment is available for dependence on 7-OH, kratom extracts, pseudoindoxyl, MGM products, SR-17018 and other emerging opioids. You don’t have to wait until these products fit a traditional definition of addiction to ask for help.
Looking to get off opioids or buprenorphine? You may have considered SR-17018, ketamine, ibogaine, or other approaches to help get through withdrawal. Our approach to opioid detox focuses on physician-guided withdrawal management using established medical treatment options.
When we refer to opioid detox, we mean outpatient, physician-guided withdrawal management—helping people get through withdrawal as safely and comfortably as possible. It’s an important first step, but not a cure for opioid use disorder. While some people explore approaches such as SR-17018, ibogaine, or ketamine, we focus on established medical options for withdrawal and the treatment that may be needed afterward.

Insurance & Affordability
Understanding your options before you start.
Cost and insurance questions shouldn’t keep you from finding out what treatment options are available.
We work with many insurance plans for covered medical services and medications. Coverage can vary depending on your plan, the treatment being considered, and whether a medication is filled through a pharmacy or provided in the office.
No insurance? You still have options. We can discuss self-pay treatment and lower-cost medication choices when appropriate.

Understanding substance use disorder can make treatment feel less confusing—for patients and for the people who care about them.
