Pueblo sits along the Arkansas River in southern Colorado, a city of working families and longtime neighbors. Our clinic near the Arkansas River and Highway 50 is a local place for individuals and families facing opioid use, alcohol use, and related mental health concerns to get steady, compassionate support.
We offer accessible, evidence-based, non-judgmental medical addiction treatment. Our providers work with you to build a plan around your needs, whether you start with a phone call, an in-person visit, or a telehealth check-in that fits around work, school, or family.
Suboxone is a form of medication for addiction treatment (MAT), which pairs FDA-approved medication with counseling and medical support. Buprenorphine, its main ingredient, is a partial opioid agonist that eases withdrawal symptoms and cravings so you can focus on daily life and recovery.
Our Pueblo providers treat opioid and alcohol use disorders and can also evaluate other substance use, including methamphetamine, cocaine, and benzodiazepines. Drug testing may be part of your care, and your provider will review any results with you and explain how they shape your plan.
Your first dose, ongoing dose adjustments, and regular check-ins with a medical provider.
A once-monthly, extended-release option once you've started buprenorphine.
