Drug Detox & Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) Services
Many clients begin by accessing the center’s medically supervised ambulatory detox services. These are designed to support individuals in managing withdrawal symptoms and cravings as safely as possible. This includes can MAT, in which the team uses FDA-approved medications to help reduce the intensity of the aforementioned withdrawal symptoms.
Comprehensive Outpatient Addiction Treatment Services
For more flexible treatment services, you can choose from partial hospitalization programming (PHP), intensive outpatient programming (IOP), and standard outpatient care. PHP is the highest level of outpatient care provided here, and involves structured medical care and therapy, with clients allowed to head back home after a day’s treatment.
IOP involves several weekly group and individual therapy sessions, including family counseling, as well as skill-building sessions. These educational sessions get into the origins of substance abuse, its medical effects on your body and mind, as well as practical treatment approaches, and how they work.
Family support is encouraged throughout the treatment process. Programming is designed to support families in recovery and encourage healthy support networks.
As for what former clients have to say, positive feedback has included gratitude for the center’s caring and compassionate staff, especially those in the surgery center. However, some concerns have been expressed around long wait times for appointments, and difficulties with medication refills.
