AppleGate Recovery

About AppleGate Recovery

AppleGate Recovery in Kokomo, Indiana, is an outpatient clinic focused solely on opioid addiction, operating as part of a network of office-based opioid treatment sites across ten states. They view addiction as a chronic disease and pair medication with counseling, so patients can manage cravings and withdrawal while working through the behavioral patterns behind their opioid use. Because care is outpatient, people can keep working, attending school, and caring for family during treatment. Adults 18 and older with a valid photo ID and evidence of opioid addiction are eligible.

Their medical providers, who are members of the American Society of Addiction Medicine, prescribe buprenorphine, Suboxone, or Zubsolv based on each person’s needs, and patients fill prescriptions at a local pharmacy of their choice. Intake can usually be scheduled within one to two days and takes two to three hours, covering a physical exam, medical, social, and drug history, and lab work that includes a drug screen. Ongoing care involves follow-up visits to check progress, dosage, and side effects, along with individual and group substance use counseling, which is provided in-house at some clinics or through referral to nearby counselors. Patients can reach a 24/7 answering service for medication refills, and staff help connect people with 12-step meetings and other peer support groups to build a lasting network before discharge.
