Welcome

Abstinence is not a condition of treatment initiation. There are ways you can start medication for your disorder without having to first go through the withdrawal process. Just be honest with us during your first appointment so we can discuss the best options for your unique situation.

If you have a history of a substance use disorder and you feel you may relapse then you qualify for treatment. There is no need for drugs to be present in your system at your first visit. 

No problem. As long as you have internet access we can conduct your first visit over telehealth. We will ask that you follow-up in person within a reasonable time frame so we remain compliant with current regulations.

We try to ensure the online forms are constantly accessible and easy to use. However, if you are having issues accessing or submitting forms please let us know. We may not be able to correct the issue immediately, but we will work towards a remedy. You are also always welcome to stop by during business hours and pick up hard copies of any forms you may need. 

• State law requires patients in medication-assisted treatment to attend counseling. How often you are required to go is dependent on what type of insurance you have. 
• Anchor Medical partners closely with several counseling providers (some of which are located on-site) who offer a variety of services including: sessions located at their office location, groups (when available), and telehealth (to those who qualify). Some counseling providers even offer peer recovery support specialists to help you navigate your journey to sobriety. 
• If you do not have a counselor, don't worry, we have a list of local counselors to help you choose. We can also help you schedule your first appointment if needed. 

We understand that sometimes patients have transportation issues. We ask that you contact our office ASAP to let us know you are running late and we will do our best to work you in. If you are unable to come in and need to telehealth please contact the office for a new appointment time.

NARCAN® is a potentially lifesaving medication designed to help reverse the effects of an opioid overdose (including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioid medications)  in minutes. Since most opioid overdoses occur in the home and are most often witnessed, having a NARCAN® rescue kit nearby can make all the difference.

If someone you know takes opioids or prescription opioids, such as oxycodone or hydrocodone for pain, be prepared for a possible life-threatening opioid overdose emergency.

 Naloxone quickly reverses an overdose by blocking the effects of opioids. It can restore normal breathing within 2 to 3 minutes in a person whose breathing has slowed or even stopped, as a result of an opioid overdose. More than one dose of naloxone may be required when stronger opioids like fentanyl are involved. 

Concerned citizens should also carry Narcan. With over 100,000 overdose deaths in 2021, everyone is affected by this epidemic.  Bystanders were present in more than one in three overdoses involving opioids. With the right tools, bystanders can act to prevent overdose deaths. Anyone can carry naloxone, give it to someone experiencing an overdose, and potentially save a life. Naloxone won’t harm someone if they’re overdosing on drugs other than opioids, so it’s always best to use it if you think someone is overdosing. 

Just stop in our office or by one of our community events and we will give you Narcan for FREE. There is a short form you must fill out and we will complete a short training on how to properly use it. 

We will train you on how to use Narcan in the event of an emergency. You may also visit the Narcan website for this instructional video.
