For Healthcare Professionals
Primary care physicians who lack resources or training to assist patients with addiction histories, or who do not prescribe buprenorphine, are encouraged to refer patients to Morse Clinics for specialized care. It is important to note that prescribing methadone for opioid addiction is strictly regulated by law. Physicians may prescribe methadone only for up to 72 hours as a temporary measure to transition a patient into treatment.

At Morse Clinics, we provide medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) for individuals who are struggling with opioid addiction. This treatment integrates methadone or buprenorphine with individual and group counseling sessions, offering a comprehensive approach to recovery.
To enroll in our treatment programs, patients must complete an evaluation and physical exam with our Medical Provider. As part of our admission process, patients undergo TB screening, upon entry and annually thereafter. Additional testing is available through referral to the patient’s County Health Department or during quarterly clinics hosted on-site.
Each patient’s progress is reviewed regularly by their Counselor, Program Director, and Medical Director to ensure personalized and effective care.
