Located at 1161 3rd Avenue, this outpatient treatment center specializes in medication-assisted treatment and comprehensive support for men, women, and pregnant or postpartum women seeking recovery from addiction. As a member of the CRC Health Group, Third Avenue Clinic combines clinical expertise with compassionate care to help patients achieve lasting sobriety.
Third Avenue Clinic offers evidence-based treatment programs designed to meet the unique needs of each patient. The facility provides methadone maintenance treatment, which helps individuals stabilize and reduce cravings while building a foundation for long-term recovery. For those ready to discontinue methadone, methadone detoxification services are available with clinical support to manage withdrawal symptoms safely. The clinic also offers buprenorphine treatment, a flexible medication option that can be used for both maintenance and detoxification, often with less intense withdrawal effects. All programs are delivered through outpatient care, allowing patients to maintain employment, family responsibilities, and community connections while receiving treatment. The facility maintains specialized programming for pregnant and postpartum women, recognizing the critical importance of individualized care during this vulnerable time, as well as dedicated men's and women's treatment tracks.
Third Avenue Clinic accepts Medicaid, private health insurance, and self-payment options, with sliding fee scales available to ensure treatment is accessible regardless of financial circumstances. If you have insurance coverage, the facility works to maximize your benefits while ensuring compliance with the Mental Health Parity Act, which requires insurance plans to cover mental health and substance abuse treatment equally with medical and surgical benefits. Cost should never be a barrier to recovery—the team at Third Avenue Clinic is committed to working with you to find a payment solution that fits your situation.
