Treatment

There are effective treatments for opioid use disorder. 

If you or someone you know needs help for a substance use disorder, the first step is an initial clinical screening or assessment, which helps determine the best treatment plan for the individual. While you navigate the process it may help to find a 12-step program near you. If you experience withdrawal symptoms, please call your healthcare professional. Call or text 988 or chat 988lifeline.org for support, or learn how a Mobile Treatment Unit may be able to help.

If you’re in crisis please call 888-407-8018. If you have an emergency please dial 911.

Everyone entering treatment first receives an initial clinical screening or assessment, which helps provide the best treatment for the individual. During this assessment, a person will answer questions that helps tailor a treatment plan.
Your local health department can assist those who are uninsured with obtaining Medicaid or Health Choice. You can also apply online. Use our treatment locator tool to determine the best next step for your individual situation.

While treatment programs differ, the basics are similar. You can expect an initial assessment, medical care, a treatment plan that overviews goals and activities, counseling and education. As treatment progresses, you may expect drug testing, relapse prevention training and self-help group attendance. Some treatment plans also may include medication, such as Methadone, Vivitrol or Buprenorphine. Family members and loved ones also may receive counseling and education services. More information is available via SAMHSA’s “What is Substance Abuse Treatment? A booklet for families.”
