About BHG Bessemer Treatment Center
At BHG Bessemer Treatment Center, you can get addiction treatment for heroin, fentanyl and prescription opioids.
They run an outpatient program in Bessemer, Alabama for adults with an opioid use disorder.
If you’re on Medicaid or Medicare, they take both, plus most commercial plans and self pay.
Which opioid medications are offered?
Methadone dosing at BHG is daily and under medical supervision, in the opioid treatment program.
Nurses and doctors are on the care team, and so are peer support specialists who have been in recovery themselves.
Buprenorphine, a medication for opioid use disorder, is offered in the clinic or by prescription, and that includes Suboxone.
A weekly or monthly extended release buprenorphine injection, such as Sublocade or Brixadi, means fewer visits than a daily dose.
Naltrexone, a medication that blocks opioid effects, is part of the outpatient recovery programs. Take home medication is an option when patients qualify under federal and state rules for safety and stability.
What time does the Bessemer clinic open?
Weekdays run from 4:45 a.m. to 11 a.m. and you can keep working, stay in school or care for family. Plus, weekends open at 5 a.m. and close at 9 a.m.
BHG offers same day admission when that’s possible (the first day can take 2 to 3 hours).
They see folks from Hoover and Birmingham, Bessemer and greater Jefferson County in Alabama.
