At West Ridge Center, we understand that opioid use disorder can affect every aspect of your life. We are here to help.
If you or a loved one is struggling with opioid use disorder, you can trust the specialists at West Ridge Center to provide comprehensive, evidence-based treatment in a caring environment.
When you receive treatment at our facility, we make your recovery and personal health our top priority. Our specialists combine proven medication for opioid use disorder, such as methadone and buprenorphine with evidence-based psychological and social counseling to deliver the most effective treatment.
With an emphasis on strengthening your connection to your family and community, we maintain a person-centered focus. Our services include:
Our staff also offers a range of educational classes on communicable disease, nutrition and wellness, opioids and the brain, and recovery skill building.
West Ridge Center now offers open access for individuals seeking assistance with their opioid use disorder (OUD), Monday through Friday, 6-11am. Open Access is designed to improve access and reduce wait times while meeting you “where you are at” at the time you are ready to receive help. You will be seen by a medical provider for medical screening and to receive the appropriate medications you need. You will also be connected with other supportive resources to help you in your recovery process. The entire process can take approximately two hours.

The staff members at West Ridge Center are here to help you take your first step toward recovery. If you or a loved one is suffering from opioid use disorder and would like to seek treatment, please call 802.776.5800. Our fax number is 802.776.4140.
