About Axis Health System - Dove Creek Integrated Healthcare

A federally designated Community Health Center bringing medical, dental, mental health, and addiction services to rural Dolores County, Axis Health System's Dove Creek Integrated Healthcare gives clients access to several types of care in one location. They serve all ages, with a public pharmacy, psychiatric care, and medication treatment for opioid use disorder alongside routine healthcare.

Treat Mental Health and Substance Use Conditions

The clinic provides individual, group, and family therapy, using approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Psychiatric care includes assessments and medication management. Addiction services cover Suboxone and Vivitrol treatment for opioid use disorder, DUI education and therapy, and care for co-occurring mental health and substance use conditions.

Access Crisis Care and Community Support

The center offers walk-in crisis services during open hours, with referrals to Axis's 24-hour regional crisis centers in Durango and Montrose when more intensive care is needed. Case managers and peer specialists help clients address housing, transportation, insurance, and other practical needs. Supported employment services also help clients prepare for work and maintain employment while receiving treatment.

MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT

Supportive Medication for Recovery

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach that pairs FDA-approved medications with counseling to treat addiction. The medications are used to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, or block the effects of substances. More about MAT

Opioids Medications

Methadone

(Dolophine®, Methadose®)

Reduces opioid cravings

Not Available

Methadone

Common Brand Names

Dolophine®, Methadose®

About this Medication

Methadone is a full opioid agonist, meaning it activates opioid receptors in the brain to produce effects like pain relief and euphoria. It is longer acting than many other opioids, making it useful in medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder.

How It Works

It reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings by occupying opioid receptors without causing intense highs. Because it is a full agonist, it must be used carefully to avoid overdose, but it is highly effective when taken as prescribed within a structured program.

Common Side Effects

Summary

Methadone can cause side effects such as drowsiness, nausea, constipation, sweating, and mood changes. In rare cases, it may lead to serious issues like slowed breathing or heart problems, so it should be used exactly as prescribed.

Physical Side Effects

Drowsiness or sedation

Lightheadedness or dizziness

Nausea or vomiting

Constipation

Sweating

Dry mouth

Itching or rash

Mental/Emotional Effects

Mood changes (e.g., feeling unusually anxious, depressed, or euphoric)

Confusion or difficulty concentrating

Serious (Less Common) Side Effects – Seek Medical Attention

Slowed or difficult breathing

Irregular heartbeat

Fainting or severe dizziness

Swelling of the face, lips, or throat (possible allergic reaction)

Hallucinations

Important Note

Because methadone is a full opioid agonist, it carries a risk of overdose, especially when taken with other depressants like alcohol or benzodiazepines. It should always be taken exactly as prescribed.

Naltrexone

(Vivitrol®, Revia®)

Blocks opioid effects

Available

Naltrexone

Common Brand Names

Vivitrol®, Revia®

About this Medication

Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist, meaning it blocks opioid receptors in the brain and prevents opioids from producing effects like euphoria or sedation. It is used to treat both opioid and alcohol use disorders, but does not cause physical dependence or withdrawal.

How It Works

It helps reduce cravings and the rewarding effects of opioids or alcohol, supporting long-term recovery. Because it blocks opioid effects, it should only be started after a person has fully detoxed from opioids to avoid triggering withdrawal.

Common Side Effects

Summary

Nausea, headache, dizziness, fatigue, anxiety, trouble sleeping, joint or muscle pain, and in injectable form (Vivitrol®), injection site reactions such as swelling or redness.

Vivitrol® – Injectable Form

Injection site pain, redness, swelling, or itching

Nausea

Headache

Fatigue or low energy

Anxiety

Muscle or joint pain

Insomnia

Cold symptoms (e.g., runny nose, sore throat)

Revia – Oral Tablet Form

Dizziness

Anxiety or nervousness

Fatigue

Sleep disturbances (insomnia or vivid dreams)

Abdominal pain or cramps

Joint or muscle pain

Buprenorphine

(Suboxone®, Subutex®, Sublocade®, Zubsolv®)

Eases opioid withdrawal

Available

Buprenorphine

Common Brand Names

Suboxone®, Subutex®, Sublocade®, Zubsolv®

About this Medication

Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist used to treat opioid use disorder. It activates opioid receptors to reduce cravings and withdrawal but has a ceiling effect, meaning it produces less euphoria and respiratory depression than full opioids.

How It Works

Buprenorphine binds tightly to opioid receptors, blocking other opioids from attaching and reducing the risk of misuse. It's often combined with naloxone (as in Suboxone®) to discourage injection misuse and is available in daily or monthly forms.

Common Side Effects

Summary

Headache, nausea, constipation, sweating, insomnia, irritability, dizziness, and mouth numbness (for sublingual forms). Less common but serious risks include respiratory depression, especially when mixed with other sedatives.

Buprenorphine (Suboxone®, Zubsolv® – Sublingual Films/Tablets)

Headache

Nausea or vomiting

Constipation

Sweating

Insomnia

Dizziness or lightheadedness

Mouth numbness or irritation (from sublingual use)

Irritability or mood changes

Buprenorphine (Sublocade – Injectable Extended-Release)

Injection site pain, swelling, or redness (from injectable form)

Nausea

Fatigue

Increased liver enzymes (may show up on lab tests)

Sleep disturbances

Note: Treatment centers offer different forms of MAT—such as oral tablets, dissolvable films, or monthly injections—and their policies can vary based on state regulations, provider preferences, and insurance coverage. Because of these differences, it's best to contact the center directly to learn what options are available and what might be right for your situation.
