VIP’s Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) provides access to Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) for individuals diagnosed with an opioid use disorder utilizing both methadone and buprenorphine (Suboxone). Using medications to treat opioid use disorder helps people manage withdrawal symptoms, reduce illicit opioid use, and stay in treatment. Methadone and buprenorphine reduce the risk of death from opioid overdose.
MOUD services are supported by individual and family counseling, group services, peer services, medical services, case management and harm reduction services.
