Outpatient care with a board-certified addiction medicine doctor. No inpatient stay. No judgment. Just a plan that fits your life.
Evidence-based treatment for opioids, stimulants, and prescription medications with medication-assisted therapy and compassionate support.
Substance use disorder, or SUD, is a medical condition where a person keeps using a substance even after it starts hurting their health, work, or relationships. It is not a character flaw, and it is not a weakness. The brain’s reward system has been changed by the substance, which makes stopping much harder than “just deciding to.” The good news: SUD responds to treatment, often very well.
People are diagnosed with SUD across a wide range of substances: alcohol, opioids (both prescription pills and heroinIllegal opioid causing euphoria, high addiction, and overdose risk. or fentanylSynthetic opioid ~50x stronger than heroin; fatal in tiny doses.), stimulants like cocaineStimulant with high addiction and heart risk. and methamphetamineAddictive stimulant causing severe health issues., cannabis, benzodiazepines and other sedatives, hallucinogens, inhalants, and nicotine. The treatment looks different for each, but the approach at Savera is the same: meet you where you are, then build the plan together.
We help adults in Morgan Hill and the surrounding South Bay recover from:
For opioid use disorder, the most effective treatment we have, by a wide margin, is medication-assisted treatment with Suboxone (buprenorphine combined with naloxone) or buprenorphine alone. MAT cuts cravings, prevents withdrawal, and dramatically lowers the risk of overdose. It is not “trading one drug for another.” Buprenorphine is a long-acting partial opioid that stabilizes your brain chemistry without producing a high at the dose used in treatment, which is exactly why it works.
Dr. Vaid is board-certified in addictionChronic disorder with compulsive use despite harm; brain changes. More medicine and treats opioid use disorder with MAT in an outpatient setting in Morgan Hill. That means no inpatient rehab, no thirty-day program, no time away from work or family unless your situation requires it.
If you have been told MAT is “just substituting one addiction for another,” that advice is out of date. Every major medical body, including the American Society of Addiction Medicine and the National Institute on Drug Abuse, considers MAT the standard of care for opioid use disorder.
You do not need to hit “rock bottom” to ask for help. In fact, the earlier you get into care, the easier recovery tends to be. A few signs that it is time to talk to a doctor:
If two or three of these feel familiar, that is a clinical pattern worth a conversation. Not a confession. A conversation.
Outpatient means you keep your life. You come to the office (or join via telehealthBroad use of technology for health services, education, beyond clinical care.), do the work, and go home that night. Here is the path:
Step 1: The first visit. Sixty minutes with Dr. Vaid. Medical history, substance history, what you have already tried, and what you want recovery to look like. Confidential. No script for what you “have” to say.
Step 2: Your personal plan. Together, we map out what makes sense for you. That may include MAT, counseling, lab work, referrals for detox if you need supervised withdrawal, and a check-in schedule that fits your week.
Step 3: Detox coordination, only if you need it. Some substances (alcohol, benzodiazepines, opioids at high doses) are dangerous to stop cold. If you need supervised detox, we coordinate with a trusted partner and bring you straight back to outpatient care once you are stable.
Step 4: Ongoing care. Medication management, counseling (motivational interviewing and family sessions when helpful), mindfulnessPractice of present-moment awareness to reduce stress in coaching. and stress tools, and lifestyle coaching. The goal is not just stopping. The goal is a life you do not want to escape from.
Step 5: Relapse-prevention support. Recovery is not a straight line. If a slip happens, you call us, we adjust the plan, and you keep going. No shame, no starting over from zero.
One doctor who knows your story. You will not be passed between five providers. Dr. Vaid sees you, and the team around her supports the plan.

Yes. SUD is a chronic medical condition, and like high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes, it responds to treatment. Most people in long-term recovery used a combination of medication, counseling, and ongoing support to get there. The earlier you start care, the better the outcomes.
Not always. Many people recover fully in outpatient care, where you keep your job, your home, and your routine while working with a doctor. Inpatient rehab is best for people who need round-the-clock supervision during withdrawal or who do not have a safe environment at home. Dr. Vaid will help you figure out which fits.
es, Dr. Vaid is board-certified in addiction medicine and offers MAT, including Suboxone, for opioid use disorder. Treatment is outpatient, and follow-ups can be done by telehealth in California.
For Suboxone induction, you do need to be in mild to moderate withdrawal before the first dose, so the medication works correctly. Dr. Vaid will walk you through exactly what to expect and how to time it.
No. Your treatment record is protected by federal medical privacy laws (HIPAA), and addiction treatment records have extra protection under 42 CFR Part 2. We do not share information with employers, family, or anyone else without your written consent.
There is no fixed timeline. Some people stay on medication for a year, some for several years, some indefinitely, and that is okay. The right length is the length that keeps you well. We review your plan together at every visit.
You call us, and we adjust the plan. Relapse does not mean treatment failed. It means recovery is a process, and a slip is information about what to change next. Many people who relapse early in treatment go on to long, stable recovery.
