Our organization is dedicated to treating chemical dependency through the appropriate medication assisted treatment, (MAT), of various types of individuals. Patients that may be appropriate for outpatient medication assisted treatment generally fall into four categories:
- Chemically dependent and alcoholic patients requiring detoxification
- Opioid dependent patients seeking maintenance stabilization
- Detoxed patients with mental health medication management needs
- Chemical dependency and alcohol assessment for legal issues
Medication Assisted Treatment and treatment goals vary by category.
After a short assessment of your needs conducted via telephone you will be scheduled for an appointment. Appropriate paperwork is to be completed, including:
- Consent to Treat
- Limits of Confidentiality
- Patient Rights and Grievance Procedures
- Compliance Expectations and Treatment Objective
- Physician Access Information
- Patient and Physicians Contract
Upon review of your medical history, orders may be placed for blood work or other tests. You are provided Prescriptions for your Medications to be filled at the pharmacy of your choosing. If you are a Vivitrol Patient or Sublocade patient, we coordinate the delivery of the medication to our offices and the injections are given on site. You will be seeing by our Behavioral Health team at the time of your Physician Visits and a comprehensive interdisciplinary care plan is developed for your care. Your care plan is tailored to your specific requirements and needs and is reviewed with you at minimum at each monthly office visit. Additional referrals to other specialist, support organzations may also be provided and any required counseling sessions are scheduled.
