- Habit OPCO – Opiate Addiction Treatment in New Jersey, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Pennsylvania

To prospective patients and their loved ones

Habit OPCO is a healthcare organization with significant experience and success in treating addiction to opiates, whether the addiction began with prescription pain medications or heroin. We utilize a multidisciplinary approach including medication-assisted treatment to stabilize patients and individual and group counseling services to help patients create positive change in their lives. Typically, over 90% of patients who remain in treatment with us at least two years are free of illicit opiate use.

Opiate addiction is a complex chronic disease of the brain. The patients we treat are everyday people who enter treatment voluntarily to overcome their addiction and improve their lives. They have families, friends, jobs and dreams. They come from all walks of life, age groups and income levels. Many become addicted to medications prescribed to control pain such as for back injury, physical trauma, post-surgical recovery and rehabilitation, among other medical reasons.

If you or a loved one wishes to explore this type of treatment without obligation, please contact us via the number above or via email at info@Habitopco.com
