Trying to manage substance use without professional guidance can be unpredictable.

Many people try to manage on their own for understandable reasons. At the same time, self-directed approaches can carry risks and feel overwhelming.

Professional guidance offers evidence-based options focused on safety, dignity, and care that meet you where you are. Support starts with a conversation.

What to Expect at Your First Appointment 💜

At your first visit with UCS Healthcare, walk-in assessments are offered on a first-come, first-served basis depending on counselor availability.

Plan for about 15–20 minutes to complete paperwork and review payment options, followed by about one hour with a counselor. You’ll have time to ask questions and learn more about programs that may be a good fit for you.

If you are seeking Medication-Assisted Treatment, our goal is to help you start medication the same day whenever possible. During your visit, we’ll complete an evaluation and review insurance and payment options to determine next steps and support timely access to care.
