Methadone Maintenance Treatment For Opioid Recovery
Fort Help Mission Inc is essentially a methadone maintenance clinic. When you seek care here, you’ll be prescribed methadone through MAT as part of a personalized care plan developed after a thorough intake assessment. Methadone is an FDA-approved medication that helps reduce opioid cravings and withdrawal symptoms, making recovery more manageable and supporting long-term stability.
You’ll then attend therapy to develop robust coping skills, tackle underlying emotional issues and strengthen relapse prevention strategies for sustained abstinence. These providers can connect you with community resources to address essential needs like housing, employment, transportation and medical care.
Flexible and Convenient Care
They accept walk-ins to provide prompt and immediate support when it matters most. I think it’s also great that they offer weekend and holiday availability as this enhances flexibility and convenience, especially for people with tight schedules.
I love that they offer bilingual services in English and Spanish, as this ensures people from diverse backgrounds can be supported. One client shared, “Love this clinic the doctor is amazing and ethical, the counselors front desk and management are as well, good souls people…”
