Finding Opioid Use Disorder Treatment in Murray
Murray’s location in the middle of the Salt Lake Valley is an advantage when you are looking for treatment. Unlike a rural town where the nearest program can be an hour away, Murray sits within reach of both opioid treatment programs (OTPs) and office-based prescribers across Salt Lake County, and telehealth widens that further.
Medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) is the standard of care, and it comes in three forms: methadone, buprenorphine (including Suboxone), and naltrexone (including the Vivitrol injection). The listings on this page show local options, and the helpline is there if you would rather talk it through with a person first.
Three Medications, Two Places to Get Them
The clearest way to understand the listings is to know what each medication is and where it is legally provided. Methadone for opioid use disorder is dispensed only through a federally certified opioid treatment program, not a regular pharmacy, which is why people still search for a “methadone clinic.”
Buprenorphine, including Suboxone and buprenorphine-naloxone tablets and the extended-release injection Sublocade, works differently: since 2023 any clinician with a standard DEA registration can prescribe it in a doctor’s office and you fill it at a pharmacy, and OTPs offer it too.
Naltrexone, including the monthly Vivitrol shot, is not a controlled substance and any licensed provider can prescribe it, but treatment starts only after you have been off opioids for a set time. Those two settings have names worth knowing: an opioid treatment program (OTP) for clinic-based dosing, and office-based opioid treatment (OBOT) for care in a regular medical office.
If you are weighing the choice, it helps to read how methadone and Suboxone compare and to look at the practical details of what a methadone clinic involves, then decide with a clinician.
Starting Treatment, and What the First Visit Is Like
The first step is usually an intake assessment, where a provider reviews your history and, if medication is appropriate, plans how to begin it (induction). Bring an ID and any insurance information if you have them, but not having them should not stop you from calling. One timing detail matters if you have been using fentanyl: starting buprenorphine too soon after fentanyl can trigger sudden, severe withdrawal (called precipitated withdrawal), so a clinician plans when to take the first dose.
This is something to raise, not something to fear. Some programs in the Salt Lake area can start you quickly, and how methadone treatment works for fentanyl covers what to expect. For the bigger picture of care options, see the overview of opioid use disorder treatment.
Take-Home Doses, Telehealth, and the Current Rules
If you are transferring into Murray or restarting care, the rules changed in your favor. Federal rules updated in 2024 expanded take-home methadone (up to a 28-day supply for patients who are stable in treatment), allowed treatment to start by telehealth.
The new ruling also removed older barriers to admission. The program decides take-home eligibility based on your stability. Buprenorphine can currently be started through telehealth, including by phone in many cases, without a prior in-person visit.
Those telehealth flexibilities run through 2026 and are still being finalized, so confirm what is current with a provider. Methadone for opioid use disorder remains dispensed through an OTP. If you are moving your care, keeping your dose steady during a transfer matters, and long-term methadone treatment explains how ongoing care works.
Paying for Care with Utah Medicaid or Insurance
Cost is often the first worry, so start here. Utah’s Medicaid program, run by the Division of Integrated Healthcare within the Department of Health and Human Services, covers all three medications for opioid use disorder.
Methadone is provided through Medicaid-enrolled opioid treatment programs, and coverage of these medications generally requires that you also be enrolled in substance use counseling. Utah made its Medication-Assisted Treatment benefit permanent under a state plan amendment effective October 1, 2025, so this coverage is not set to expire.
Private insurance and Medicare also cover MOUD, though what methadone costs out of pocket varies, and some programs offer self-pay or sliding-scale fees. A provider on this page can confirm what your plan covers before you commit.
The Overdose Picture in Salt Lake County
Utah’s trend runs against the country’s. While drug overdose deaths fell about 24% nationally from 2023 to 2024, Utah was one of only five states where they rose, by roughly 5%. Utah recorded 606 drug overdose deaths in 2023, its highest on record, and 290 of those involved fentanyl.
Salt Lake County, where Murray sits, is where much of the state’s response is concentrated. The Salt Lake County Health Department runs a CDC-funded Overdose Data to Action program, and in 2024 it created a Language Access Workgroup after a cluster of opioid overdose deaths among young Somali men, building naloxone and overdose education in multiple languages for the county’s large refugee and immigrant communities.
Numbers like these describe real loss, but they are not the whole story: effective medication treatment is available across the valley, and starting it is the single most protective step. For background on the condition itself, see opioid addiction and how it is treated.
Care for Specific Situations
Some circumstances change how you enter treatment. If you are pregnant, methadone or buprenorphine is the recommended standard of care, because untreated opioid use disorder carries greater risk to a pregnancy than medication does; babies can experience neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS), which care teams manage, and Utah uses a Plan of Safe Care to coordinate support for parent and newborn.
Treatment is a health decision, and seeking it is the protective choice. Read more on methadone and pregnancy. Salt Lake County’s refugee and immigrant residents may want a program that offers interpretation or culturally specific outreach, which the county has been building through its Language Access Workgroup. If you are helping someone enter care through a court, probation, or a hospital referral, ask a program directly whether it accepts that referral and can provide any documentation you need.

Naloxone and Staying Safe in Utah
Anyone at risk of an overdose, or close to someone who is, should keep naloxone (Narcan) on hand; it reverses an opioid overdose and is safe to give. In Utah, you can get it over the counter and at pharmacies under a statewide standing order from the Department of Health and Human Services, and nonprofits like Utah Naloxone and Intermountain Health’s Opioid Education and Naloxone Distribution program give out free kits.
Utah’s Good Samaritan Law, updated in 2023, protects people who call 911 for an overdose from certain drug-possession charges, so calling for help is safer than not. A return to use can happen and is a manageable part of treatment, not a failure; naloxone is simply a safeguard while treatment does its work. See how to recognize and respond to an overdose.
Questions People in Murray Ask
Is methadone or buprenorphine the better choice?
Neither is better for everyone. Methadone is a full agonist dispensed daily at an OTP at first, which some people find steadying; buprenorphine has a ceiling effect that lowers overdose risk and can be prescribed in an office and filled at a pharmacy. The right fit depends on your history and preferences, and you decide it with a clinician.
Do I have to go in every day for methadone?
At the start, methadone is usually taken at the program daily. As you become stable, federal rules updated in 2024 allow take-home doses of up to a 28-day supply, with the program deciding eligibility based on your progress. Buprenorphine and naltrexone do not involve daily clinic visits.
Can I start treatment this week in the Salt Lake area?
Often yes. Buprenorphine can be started quickly, including by telehealth, and some OTPs offer prompt intake. Wait times vary by program, so call the options on this page or the helpline to ask about same-week openings.
Does Utah Medicaid pay for medication treatment?
Yes, Utah Medicaid, through the Division of Integrated Healthcare, covers methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone for opioid use disorder, generally alongside substance use counseling. A provider can verify your specific coverage.
Can I get buprenorphine by telehealth in Utah?
As of 2026, yes, buprenorphine can be started through telehealth, including by phone in many cases, without a prior in-person visit. These rules run through 2026 and are being finalized, so confirm current options with a provider.
