Treatment for Opiate Dependence

Opiate dependence impacts more than 2 million Americans and often evolves from the misuse of appropriately prescribed medications for the treatment of chronic pain.

Additionally, opiates have emerged as popular drugs of choice with young adults, who typically crush the time-release drugs for immediate intoxication.

Commonly abused opiates and prescription drugs can include:  

  • Heroin
  • Norco
  • OxyContin or Oxycodone
  • Vicodin

Sharp Mesa Vista Hospital is proud to offer an intensive Opiate Dependence Outpatient Program for adults who are 18 years old and older. The program combines psychosocial counseling and the use of Suboxone, a groundbreaking medication to suppress withdrawal symptoms and decrease cravings.
