About Janus Community Clinic
Janus of Santa Cruz has been providing substance use disorder treatment in central California since 1976. They offer a full scope of recovery programs ranging from detox and residential care to sober housing. This community clinic on Emeline Avenue in Santa Cruz is an opioid and alcohol recovery center. They promote healing among community residents dealing with opioids and alcoholism through medication assisted treatment.
Methadone, Suboxone and Vivitrol Maintenance Treatment in Santa Cruz
Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is a scientifically proven means of addressing opioid use. The technique facilitates holistic recovery by pairing counseling with FDA-approved methadone, Suboxone, and Vivitrol. A thorough assessment during intake enables the care team to tailor meds, dosage, and counseling. When taken as prescribed, these meds relieve withdrawal symptoms, and curb cravings.
You’ll then focus on counseling to address the psychological, social and emotional symptoms of your addiction. Janus offers individual and group counseling options to tackle these underlying issues and build strong coping strategies to prevent relapse. Counseling fosters positive behavioral changes necessary to regain a productive and healthy lifestyle.
As you move forward in your recovery, they’ll help you find stable accommodation, jobs, and educational opportunities via case management. They may provide referrals to self-help groups like AA/NA to build a strong support network and promote abstinence.
No Overdoses
Janus makes harm reduction services available with the Santa Cruz Overdose Prevention & Education (SCOPE) initiative. They offer overdose prevention kits and education to people and community organizations. Each kit has two doses of Naloxone along with syringes and instructions for safe disposal.
Naloxone or Narcan can reverse opioid overdoses and save lives when administered promptly. You also get educated on how to use it. You’d never know when it’ll come in handy.
