If you are looking for MAT treatment in Sacramento or Northern Nevada, New Dawn Treatment Centers offers Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) to reduce opioid withdrawal and cravings so you can focus on therapy and stability. We pair medication with counseling and aftercare across our Northern California and Reno locations, in small, gender-specific, home-style settings.
Family-owned since 1987, New Dawn is licensed by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), CARF accredited, and LegitScript certified.

Medication-assisted treatment combines FDA-approved medication with counseling to treat opioid use disorder on a whole-patient basis. At New Dawn, we use MAT for opioid addictions, including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription painkillers, and medication is always paired with therapy.
Many people worry that MAT swaps one opioid for another. It doesn’t. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist: it activates opioid receptors far less strongly than heroin or fentanyl, easing withdrawal and cravings while lowering overdose risk, without the high. SAMHSA recognizes buprenorphine-based MAT as an effective, evidence-based treatment for opioid use disorder.
Safety is built into every step. Induction begins only once you are in moderate withdrawal, measured with the Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS), to avoid precipitated withdrawal. Your first dose is observed, urine testing and diversion controls protect your progress, and your taper or maintenance plan is individualized with no pressure either way.
You can start or continue Suboxone at several levels of care, and because New Dawn runs the entire continuum, you move between levels without changing providers:
Medically supervised Suboxone induction in medical detox, with observed dosing and daily medical checks.
Start or continue medication on site in residential treatment, alongside daily individual and group therapy.
Daytime medical management for starts and adjustments through our PHP and Mental Health IOP, with multi-hour therapy blocks.
Maintenance prescribing after stabilization in our intensive outpatient program, with structured groups and individual counseling.
Long-term maintenance and relapse prevention through outpatient services, plus lasting community through aftercare and alumni support.
Who It's For
After a clinical screening, most adults with opioid use disorder are appropriate candidates. If you are struggling with opioid addiction, heroin addiction, or fentanyl addiction, an assessment with our team is the first step. Intake includes a medical history and medication review, urine drug testing, pregnancy testing when indicated, baseline liver screening when needed, and a COWS score to time induction safely.
Some situations call for extra coordination rather than a turn-away, such as heavy unmanaged benzodiazepine or alcohol use, severe respiratory disease, or significant liver problems. Pregnant and postpartum clients receive individualized planning through our Perinatal and Postpartum Outpatient Program, coordinated with obstetric providers.
Dual Diagnosis
Opioid addiction rarely travels alone. Our dual diagnosis program coordinates your MAT prescriber, therapist, and mental health care around one treatment plan, with integrated support for anxiety, depression, and PTSD and trauma.
Medication quiets withdrawal; therapy is where recovery is built. Our clinicians draw from evidence-based therapies including CBT, Motivational Interviewing, individual and group counseling, family therapy, and trauma-informed care such as Accelerated Resolution Therapy (A.R.T.). Experiential options like yoga and equine therapy are available at select locations; see the full therapies overview.
Insurance
We verify benefits at no charge and explain expected costs before you commit to care. New Dawn is in-network with major carriers including Optum, Cigna, Anthem, Blue Shield/Blue Cross, Aetna, UHC, Kaiser, VA, TriWest, and TriCare. Coverage varies by plan and location, so the free insurance verification is the best first step. Our coordinators handle prior authorizations, and we offer a Treatment Pricing Guarantee, financing through My Treatment Lender, and discounts for veterans and first responders, former union workers, and alumni.
We answer to families, not private equity or shareholders, and the same local ownership has guided our care for decades.
Detox, residential, PHP, IOP, outpatient, MAT, dual diagnosis, and aftercare under one roof, with no handoffs between companies.
