Let's see how we can help
Three quick questions. No contact details yet.
Care for prescription painkillers, heroin and fentanyl
Opioids include prescription pain medications such as oxycodone, hydrocodone and morphine, as well as heroin and illicitly made fentanyl. They relieve pain and can bring a strong sense of calm, and the body adapts to them quickly. Many people reach a point where they use mainly to avoid feeling sick.
Opioid use disorder is a treatable medical condition, not a moral failing. Recovery usually works best with a plan that combines medical care, counseling and practical support. Medications for opioid use disorder are an established part of care for many people, and you can discuss whether they fit your needs during your assessment.
This page is for adults in Yuba City and across California who are worried about their own opioid use, and for family members looking for a safe place to start.
Signs opioid use may need attention
If any of these sound familiar, a confidential conversation can help you find a safe next step.
- You take more opioids, or take them more often, than prescribed or intended.
- You need more to get the same effect, or feel sick when you go without.
- You run out of a prescription early or look for pills from other sources.
- You have switched from pills to heroin or fentanyl, or are worried you might.
- You have had an overdose or a close call, or someone has used naloxone on you.
- Getting and using opioids takes up much of your time, money and attention.
- You have tried to stop or cut back and returned to using.

What opioid treatment at ARC focuses on
Your plan follows medical guidance and your assessment. Sessions often focus on:
- Understanding how opioid use started, including pain, stress or trauma that may be part of it.
- Skills for managing cravings and high-risk situations as you move forward.
- Overdose prevention, including planning for times when your tolerance may be lower.
- Coordinating with medical providers about withdrawal, pain and any medication decisions.
- Rebuilding sleep, daily routines, work and relationships.
- A relapse prevention plan you can keep using after a structured program ends.
What to expect when you reach out
Step 1: Reach out
Request a free, confidential assessment or call or text 530-625-7910, 24/7.
Step 2: Talk with our team
We listen to what you have noticed, check your benefits and recommend a safe level of care.
Step 3: Start your plan
You begin IOP, Evening IOP or PHP, or detox first through our partner when that is safer.
Tell us what you use, how often and whether you also use alcohol or sedatives. That helps decide whether medical detox should come before outpatient care, and gives you a chance to ask about medications for opioid use disorder.
Opioid overdose risk: what to know
Street drugs, including pills that look like prescription medications, may contain fentanyl, which can cause a fatal overdose. Overdose risk is higher after any period of not using, such as after detox, treatment or jail, because tolerance drops. Mixing opioids with alcohol or benzodiazepines also raises the risk.
Naloxone can reverse an opioid overdose. Keep it on hand if you or someone close to you uses opioids. Do not stop opioids suddenly without medical guidance. If you may need medical detox, we coordinate it with our partner, Ona Treatment Center. ARC does not provide detox itself.
If someone is very hard to wake, breathing slowly or not at all, or has blue or gray lips, call 911 and give naloxone if you have it.

Frequently asked questions
It depends on what you use, how much and your health. Please do not stop suddenly without medical guidance. If medical detox is the safer first step, we coordinate it with our partner, Ona Treatment Center; ARC does not provide detox itself. You can step down to outpatient care with ARC afterward.
Yes. Medications for opioid use disorder are an established part of care for many people. You can discuss whether they fit your needs during your assessment, and any medication decisions are made with a medical provider.
After a period without opioids, the body loses some of its tolerance. Using the same amount as before can then cause an overdose. This is why overdose planning and naloxone are part of a safe recovery plan.
Yes. Telehealth sessions are live and scheduled, with a real clinician and group, and you join from a private place in California. Your assessment helps decide whether telehealth or in-person care in Yuba City fits best.
Many plans include benefits for substance use treatment, but coverage varies by plan. ARC works with plans including Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, TRICARE, Aetna, Cigna and UnitedHealthcare. We verify your benefits before you start.
Keep naloxone on hand and learn the signs of an overdose. Choose “Someone I care about” on the form or call or text 530-625-7910, and we can explain the options and how to support them. Their own care and information sharing follow consent rules.
