About Aegis Treatment Centers | Oxnard

The Aegis Treatment Center in suburban Oxnard, California, is a methadone clinic that offers an outpatient drug treatment program. The organization is CARF-accredited.

They do accept insurance such as Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE. If you do not have insurance, you will have the option to self pay for your treatment.

The facility is located in the Cal-Gisler neighborhood. I love that the center is in a coastal town near the Pacific Ocean. You’ll be able to access the fun attractions that are nearby. Nearby is Heritage Square, Channel Islands Harbor, and the Mandalay and Silver Strand beaches.

What stood out to me is that they’re open seven days a week, with dosing hours as well. You’ll be in a supportive environment in a clean, warmly-lit clinical setting. With a combination of therapy and medication for opioid use disorder, you’ll be able to overcome your opioid dependence. Their scheduling is flexible, therefore you can still attend to your daily responsibilities.

Methadone and buprenorphine are the medications that they use for medication assisted treatment (MAT). This is not a stand alone service; it’s offered in combination with counseling. The medication will help ease your withdrawal symptoms and reduce your cravings, so that you may be able to focus on your treatment and recovery.

A clinical and medical assessment will be done so that the staff may be able to evaluate your physical and mental health. They will also go over your substance abuse history, to create a comprehensive and balanced treatment plan for you.

I do like that telehealth counseling services are offered. To help you understand your disease you will receive education about substance use disorders. You will also have access to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), life skills development, and relapse prevention.

Levels of Care

Outpatient

In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations.

Detox Service Setting

Outpatient Detox

Outpatient detox gives you access to medically supervised withdrawal services while still allowing you to live at home. You’ll attend a clinic for treatment and monitoring. This flexible option is suitable for those with mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms who have strong support systems.
MAT

Medication assisted treatment combines medication and counseling to manage withdrawal and reduce cravings for opioid and alcohol addiction. Medications may include methadone, buprenorphine or naltrexone. MAT is tailored to your needs so you can actively participate in your treatment journey.
