Attending opiate treatment through science

Opiate treatment with medication assisted treatment

One fundamental way to practice harm reduction is through treatment for opioid use disorder.

Harm reduction treatment typically involves using medications like methadone and buprenorphine, which can help people struggling with addiction manage their symptoms safely and effectively.

Recovery from opioid addiction is possible, and treatment can be essential. At La Jolla Recovery, we take opiate addictions such as fentanyl, morphine, and heroin seriously. Detoxing from these opiates requires clinical supervision, a professional understanding of the withdrawal, medication-assisted treatment such as Narcan, and long-term attention for sustainable recovery.

At La Jolla Recovery rehabs, we pride ourselves on using science to correctly detox opiates such as heroin and fentanyl from the body. We pay attention and offer comprehensive inpatient treatment and aftercare healing phases.

Therapies such was medication assisted treatment, CBT, DBT and ACT make it possible to attend SUD with science and outcomes as well as providing a safe and non judgmental environment, key to flourishing and healing.
