Office Based MAT in Brainerd

Essentia Health offers a comprehensive MAT program, which starts with screenings and diagnosis. They coordinate with your primary care provider and create a personalized treatment plan for your needs.

They use Suboxone and buprenorphine as treatment options. MAT allows you to avoid significant withdrawal symptoms while staying stable during treatment. According to the clinic, MAT during opioid treatment more than doubles your chance of success.

Family Focused Addiction Treatment to Heal Relationships

One unique element of the Brainerd program is that they have an option for family centered treatment. Because families are often deeply affected by substance use, this can be an important part of healing for both the client and their loved ones.

The family treatment includes family education about addiction and recovery and re establishing contact with estranged family members. They also offer family counseling to improve communication, bring healing to broken relationships, and help everyone set healthy boundaries.

It’s neat that their location can also help supplement family time for recovery. They’re by the Mississippi River and Gregory Park, where you can unwind and relax. They’re also not too far from the local YMCA.
