Conditions We Treat
Confidential outpatient care for adults affected by opioids, stimulants, cannabis or prescription medication misuse.
Understanding the Condition
Challenges involving opioids, stimulants, cannabis, prescription medications, or other substances can affect individuals and families in different ways. STS approaches substance use with dignity and compassion through individualized counseling, structured treatment, relapse prevention, peer support, and coordinated services.
Recognizing the Signs
These are common signs, not a diagnosis. If several sound familiar, a confidential assessment is a good first step.
If someone has taken too much and is hard to wake or breathing slowly, call 911 immediately. Naloxone (Narcan) can reverse an opioid overdose and is sold over the counter at many pharmacies.
Using substances in larger amounts or more frequently than intended.
Experiencing strong cravings or spending significant time obtaining, using, or recovering from substances.
Continuing substance use despite negative effects on health or relationships.
Experiencing difficulty reducing or stopping substance use despite repeated attempts.
Experiencing employment, family, financial, or legal challenges related to substance use.
Experiencing physical discomfort, anxiety, or mood changes when reducing or stopping substance use.

Your Care Journey
Your first visit is a confidential assessment with a licensed clinician, about 60 to 90 minutes, covering your substance use, health and goals. If you need medical detox first, we help you arrange it. We then agree the right level of care, usually IOP or outpatient counseling, with peer recovery support, relapse prevention and case management where they help.
Common Questions
Is treatment different for different drugs?
Yes. Your plan is shaped around the substances involved, your health and your goals.
Can I come if I take medication for opioid use?
Yes. Medication can be an important part of recovery, and we coordinate your care with you and your prescriber.
Do you drug test?
Testing may be part of some treatment plans. If it is, your clinician explains why and how it supports your recovery.
Is drug use treatment covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans cover outpatient and intensive outpatient treatment. We work with a growing number of plans, offer self-pay and sliding-scale fee options, and check your coverage before you start.
