Medical Services at CODAC
CODAC believes that the key to successful long-term recovery is to provide treatment for the whole person, not only the substance use disorder symptoms and behaviors. All CODAC patients receive a medical exam at intake and then yearly. The medical exam includes a history and physical by one of CODAC’s medical providers, testing for Hepatitis C, HIV, STIs and tuberculosis. If necessary CODAC will assist you in connecting with any other medical services you might need.

CODAC’s medical and counseling staffs trained to offer specialized education and support. CODAC will collaborate directly with obstetricians to optimize opportunities for effective care.
