 As part of Southern Inyo Healthcare District’s mission to provide local access to quality healthcare, we are determined to do our part to help our community in the midst of a nationwide opioid epidemic.

The purpose of our Suboxone Clinic MAT (medication-assisted treatment) program is to offer hope and healing for those in our community who are struggling with opioid use disorder. MAT outpatient programs are designed to treat opioid addiction by offering a multifaceted approach, which usually involves medication and counseling. Our MAT program combines a prescription of an opioid antagonist medication (Suboxone), with the support of regular primary care from your physician, and counseling services customized for each patient’s individual needs.
