About ETANO Center
ETANO Center is an outpatient opioid treatment program located at 3956 East Pima Street in Tucson, Arizona. The clinic specializes in medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder, offering three FDA-approved medications — methadone, buprenorphine (Suboxone, Subutex, Sublocade, Zubsolv, Bunavail), and naltrexone (Vivitrol) — alongside counseling, peer support, and on-site medical and laboratory services. ETANO is licensed in Arizona as an opioid treatment program (OTP) and accredited by CARF.
The clinic offers both outpatient detoxification and longer-term maintenance treatment, allowing patients to choose between a structured short-term taper or ongoing stabilization. An extended take-home medication program is available to patients who meet federal eligibility criteria, supporting greater flexibility for those who are stable in recovery, employed, or balancing family responsibilities. Each patient is assigned both a counselor and a peer support specialist at admission, reflecting ETANO’s view that medication is a tool to stabilize the body while therapy and peer support address the psychological and behavioral aspects of addiction.
Counseling at ETANO draws from a broad evidence base — motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, relapse prevention, contingency management, and peer/recovery support — delivered in one-on-one and group formats. The medical director is a licensed psychiatrist who provides psychiatry services and medication management for patients with co-occurring mental health concerns. Laboratory services on site streamline the drug screening required as part of OTP regulations.
Insurance and payment vary by program. The methadone program at ETANO is in-network with multiple commercial and public payers including TRICARE, while the buprenorphine (Suboxone) program is self-pay only. Patients are encouraged to call the clinic directly to verify coverage and discuss pricing before intake. An intake counselor is available to answer questions about admission, costs, treatment medications, and what to expect on the first day.
