At this time of Thanksgiving celebration, our thoughts turn gratefully to you with warm appreciation. Our best wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving. #grateful

As we go into the Holidays, remember this.. 1 drink is never enough 1 pill is never enough 1 puff is never enough... 1 line is never enough My recovery must come first so that everything I love in life does not have to come last.

#WorldKindnessDay is today! Celebrate the beauty of being kind. Do things for people not because of who they are or what they do in return but because of who you are. #kindnessmatters #kindnessiscontagious #kindnessisfree #kindnesswins

Wise words from Nishi Dhanota, physician assistant at our opioid treatment program in Marysville: It's never too late to #chooserecovery!

Copied from another post: This is what breaking a generational curse of drug addiction & poverty looks like. If you told the little girl in that photo that she... would be living the life I am now, I wouldn’t believe it. I wanted so badly to have normal parents & a stable surrounding but felt like I couldn’t ever get out. PLOT TWIST!! I did. I got out & I became the stable adult I needed as a kid. I’m making this post in hopes that it reminds any child who has dealt with family addiction, poverty, & lack of guidance that you don’t have to live the life you were born into. Aim to be the adult you needed & never stop working on that person. It’s far from easy but so worth it. I promise.

Kicking off National Recovery Month!

It was wonderful to host our first Ribbon Cutting in a long time. Let’s celebrate businesses that are opening & give our full support! Aegis Treatment Centers, ...the largest outpatient treatment provider in California for opioid addiction, opened an opioid treatment program on Wednesday, July 15, 2020, at 2107 1st Street in Eureka. This is Aegis’ 37th center in the state, seventh in Northern California, and first in Humboldt County where it will serve citizens in Eureka, Fortuna, Arcata, McKinleyville, and surrounding areas. Owned by Pinnacle Treatment Centers, a leading drug and alcohol addiction treatment services provider headquartered in New Jersey, Aegis continues to expand its presence throughout California, driven by Pinnacle’s missionto make recovery possible by transforming lives, communities and the families with treatment that works. As Americans continue to face the opioid epidemic, we are accelerating our efforts to provide the very best in high quality treatment services to individuals suffering with addiction, said Joe Pritchard, CEO, Pinnacle Treatment Centers, who made his own personal journey through recovery and now celebrates 45 years of sobriety. This is our commitment, to drive affordable services into underserved communities. At the heart of these efforts are our community-based programs that help patients achieve long-term recovery. Aegis Eureka will provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) services, including FDA-approved medicines methadone and buprenorphine, to curb withdrawal symptoms from heroin and opioid addiction; prevent relapse; and quell the physical discomfort that frequently accompanies recovery from opioid use disorder. In addition to medication, individual and group counseling will be offered as part of a whole-patient approach to care. Prescription painkiller abuse, rising heroin use, and overdoses are part of a nationwide crisis. Research shows that the integration of both behavioral and pharmacologic therapy is the most effective approach to overcoming opioid addiction and is considered the gold standard of treatment. The need in the county for substance use disorder treatment is pronounced and community support has been growing. Through the Humboldt Hub & Spoke grants, Aegis has had the opportunity to partner with community providers including Open Door Community Health Centers and collaborate with Eureka’s Rx Safe Humboldt Opioid Safety Coalition to improve local access to medication-assisted treatment and distribute Narcan, the opioid overdose reversal medication, to help save lives, said Eureka Clinic Manager Sarah Vogel. Community leaders and key government stakeholders, including Virginia Bass of the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors and Senator Mike McGuire, have led local efforts to increase MAT providers and access. Aegis Eureka accepts Medical, Medicare, commercial insurance, and offers reasonable self-pay rates. The center is open weekdays, 5:00 am - 1:30 pm, and on weekends from 6- 9 am. Individuals interested in accessing treatment can call 707-273-6395 for a free confidential consultation.
