What is substance use disorder?

If you cannot live without opioids, painkillers, cocaine, meth, heroin or any other similar substance, you have a substance use disorder. And while it’s hard to beat addiction, it can be done.

We use Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for opioid dependency, which is considered the "gold standard" in care.

For other addictions, we can refer you to a nearby facility for medically supervised withdrawal management, in-patient or residential rehabilitation.
