Those struggling with addiction often face stigma and judgment from society. While addiction is misunderstood, it is a common chronic disease that impacts many Americans. There are many treatment options available to help people overcome their struggles with addiction. At Rise Above Treatment, we understand that there is no one-size-fits-all treatment program for clients. We create customized treatment plans with each of our clients that tailor our programs and services to meet their individual needs. Our medication-assisted treatment program is effective for people addicted to powerful opioids like heroin and fentanyl. If you or someone you know would benefit from our medication-assisted treatment program, contact Rise Above Treatment today to learn more.
What Is a Medication-Assisted Treatment Program?
A medication-assisted treatment program involves therapy and medically supervised pharmaceutical care. All the medications used during treatment are FDA-approved and administered by a California addiction medicine specialist. Our medication-assisted program offers clients pharmaceutical treatments such as Vivitrol, Suboxone, and methadone.
Continued use of drugs has an impact on the brain and other parts of the physical body. Someone with a strong dependence on highly addictive drugs like heroin or fentanyl can have a difficult time going through recovery without medication. Medication can be invaluable when used alongside other clinical treatment approaches and therapies. The road to recovery is not easy, but a medical-assisted treatment program can be the right treatment program for you or a loved one.
How Do Medication-Assisted Treatment Programs Work?
At Rise Above Treatment, our medication-assisted treatment process includes an initial consultation, medical supervision, and ongoing oversight. During an initial consultation, our medical team evaluates the client’s addiction recovery needs to determine whether medication-assisted treatment is the right program for them. When clients begin a medication-assisted treatment program, our large medical team closely monitors them to ensure they receive the appropriate pharmaceutical dosage and treatment. Clients receive ongoing oversight where our medical team decreases medication intervention when appropriate.
Some of the benefits of medication-assisted treatment programs include:
- Relief from painful withdrawal symptoms
- Reduces the risk of relapse or overdose
- Limit or mitigate intense cravings
- Increases the chance for lasting recovery
- Increases retention rate for other treatment and therapy programs
Medication-assisted treatment programs are an effective form of treatment for addiction. However, it is important to remember that it is not a cure for addiction. A medical-assisted treatment program should not be the only form of treatment for a client. They should also participate in other forms of treatment, such as therapy programs or partial hospitalization programs. At Rise Above Treatment, we take our client’s health and safety seriously. We aim to provide our clients with evidence-based treatments that assist them on their path to recovery and fulfilling life free of substances.
