Why Enroll in a Medication-Assisted Treatment Program
Medication-assisted treatment is a comprehensive approach to recovery from substance use disorder. It combines the use of FDA-approved medications with mental health treatment, including counseling, therapeutic addiction treatment, and social and family support to enhance and sustain the success of recovery. Medications can reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, improve control over addiction, lower the risk of overdose or relapse, and improve quality of life. Other benefits include:
- Reduced cravings and withdrawal symptoms so that it is easier to stay in treatment and avoid relapse or overdose
- Improved treatment retention, survival rates, and community and social involvement
- Easily integrated into existing treatment programs for an evidence-based, rounded approach to treatment
- Can restore balance to brain circuits affected by addiction, normalizing brain chemistry and supporting overall health and progress
- Highly effective at treating opioid use disorder
- Addresses both physical dependency and the underlying behavioral and social aspects of addiction
Some key components of the medication-assisted addiction treatment process include:
- Administration of FDA-Approved Medications – We will design a personalized treatment program that integrates an FDA-approved medication to manage your withdrawal symptoms and cravings. This could include buprenorphine, naloxone, naltrexone, or sublocade. We will carefully monitor your symptoms and assess your progress so that we can adjust your dosage as needed to maintain your comfort and progress.
- Commitment to Holistic Treatment Programs – In addition to medication-assisted treatment, we also offer same-day psychiatric care, individual and group therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, a 12-step program, and trauma therapy. These programs offer ongoing psychosocial support that informs your recovery and helps you overcome challenges and obstacles.
- Ongoing Support and Counseling – You can sustain your results and improve your chances of success through continuing support. This includes enrollment in our intensive outpatient treatment program, which includes ongoing mental health support and counseling. We also recommend that you take advantage of social and community support programs, family involvement, and other resources.
