Our walk-in clinic hours allow recovery to start now.

Addiction, substance abuse, mental health disorder - these are words that often carry with them the weight of shame.
We recognize the impact of these identities, we acknowledge the isolation they can provoke.
May Achieve Whole Recovery offer solace and sojourn in the path to recovery.
May we prove to be a place where shame and isolation no longer hold more power than the desire to show up.
Our team here values the humanity that goes into medical care.
Our mission is to serve everyone who walks in our front door with compassion, respect and dignity.
We know the fight is worth it, do you?

Pandemic-related concerns associated with substance use
Achieve Whole Recovery has one goal: to increase community awareness that Medication Assisted Treatment exists. With this goal identified, we have been diligent in sharing the details of MAT, how it works, and how our own clinic operates to serve those in need.
Medication Assisted Treatment offers many people hope for recovery from substance abuse disorders.
Why should someone seek MAT?
It reduces opioid use, protects against opioid-related overdoses, prevents injection behaviors and reduces criminal behavior.

COVID-19 and Your Health
Which setting seems more comfortable when receiving crucial withdrawal treatment and care?
Those in need often find themselves in a hospital emergency room. While treatment may be administered, there is potential for long wait times and many receive care from medical providers without addiction medicine training.
Achieve Whole Recovery offers same day walk-in and can administer medicated assisted treatment that day. Our withdrawal treatment room is comfortable, warm-lit and private.
Our wait times are minimal because we do not have the size and medical scope of an ER. All of our staff is trained in Addiction Medicine and knows how to tailor treatment to the individual patient.
At Achieve Whole Recovery, we understand addiction is a medical disease, and we treat our patients with the compassion we would expect to be treated with in a similar setting.
"Some people refer to their nightly glass of wine as a habit that could easily be replaced with something else if given some thought. Others see their nightly alcohol as a reward and a need; it’s not just a habit, it’s an addiction that often sends our lives into tailspins. While that can change, sobriety takes a lot of work that requires planning, support, and new routines and rituals. Choosing something besides drinking is empowering and life-saving and with enough time will become our new normal. "
