Aegis Treatment Centers LLC - Healthy Connections

They provide outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Marina is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They detox from opioids. Coming off opioids without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 3 places near Manteca that do it.

They offer a pregnancy program. Call rather than wait, because this is the one case where timing changes the options and Manteca may not have a second place set up for it.

They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Manteca are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.

Manteca has 15 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

Within 14 miles there are 8 other centers, across Marina and Salinas.

Family work is a standard part of treatment, though how much of it varies a lot between centers. The first conversation with a center can be had by a family member, before the person using is ready to make a call. Ask what exists for a relative who is not ready to sit in a room with the person using.

Medication is one tool in a program, and for opioid use disorder it is the one with the strongest evidence behind it. Some programs are abstinence based by design and do not use medication at all, which is a real difference between centers. Ask what happens to the prescription on the day the program ends.
