Aegis Treatment Centers | Bakersfield 21st Street

AEGIS Treatment Centers is an outpatient addiction clinic in Bakersfield, California. They’re mostly a clinic for medication assisted treatment which uses medications like methadone and Suboxone to make your body think it’s getting opioids. This reduces withdrawal symptoms from opioids and minimizes cravings to help you through the most difficult stages of your recovery.

Medication isn’t all they do here though. Your program will also include outpatient therapy and counseling like peer support groups and group therapy. They’ll also teach you a lot of skills that will become instrumental in your recovery journey.

For example, you’ll learn about addiction and how to combat its effects. Treatment also includes life skills and coping skills so you learn how to deal with life without reaching for drugs and alcohol.

What strikes me as especially helpful about this clinic is that they have plenty of specialized groups here too. They have gender specific groups and groups for specific cultures so you can get the support of people who understand you and your experience. They have specialized services for pregnant clients too.
