About Augusta Metro Treatment Center
Augusta Metro Treatment Center is an opioid recovery clinic in suburban Augusta, Georgia. The facility helps you regain control of your life through medication assisted treatment (MAT). This method uses meds approved by the FDA alongside counseling to ensure complete healing.
Prior to receiving this treatment you’ll undergo assessment and medical examination. This helps their clinical team identify treatment needs and ensure it’s safe for you to receive MAT. They’ll create a personalized treatment plan based on your assessed needs. Your plan will include meds that work best to help you handle withdrawal.
The clinic has various med choices for this purpose. They can either prescribe methadone, buprenorphine or Suboxone. This med helps you relieve physiological cravings and eliminate withdrawal symptoms.
Subsequently you’ll receive counseling to help you resolve the emotional issues that contribute to your opioid use. They provide counseling in Individual, group and family settings. This helps you learn better ways to handle setbacks and cope with life challenges that trigger substance misuse. Combining meds and counseling delivers the best recovery outcomes.
The facility offers medically supervised withdrawal or detox as well. A detox program lets your body rid itself of a drug while managing the symptoms of withdrawal. It involves a carefully managed procedure with 24/7 symptom monitoring by trained physicians. They may provide pain counseling and administer meds to ensure a comfortable withdrawal. You may undergo detox before medication assisted therapy.. They also offer referral services if your symptoms become acute.
The thing I like most about this clinic is their focus on confidential treatment. This is in addition to their convenient outpatient care. They even provide take-home benefits when you meet key criteria during the MAT program. This can really motivate you to stay focused on your recovery. The facility is easy to get to from downtown Augusta. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic.
The historic Augusta Canal National Heritage Area and the Augusta Riverwalk are all located in the downtown area. So you might check them out if you’re visiting from nearby towns. The Phinizy Swamp Nature Park is close by as well. This is especially great for hiking and bird watching.
You can pay for your treatment through Medicaid and Medicare. They accept many private insurance as well.
