Our MAT program follows a structured approach, combining medication management with therapeutic support for the most effective recovery outcomes.
Your MAT journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation by our Nurse Practitioner. We review your substance use history, current health, and previous medication experiences to determine the most appropriate medication and dosage for your recovery.
Starting your medication under close NP supervision. This phase focuses on initial stabilization — monitoring for side effects, adjusting dosage, and ensuring your body responds well. You'll simultaneously begin therapeutic programming at your program level.
With medication stabilized, the focus shifts to combining MAT with evidence-based therapy. CBT, DBT, and individual sessions address the psychological components of addiction while medication manages the physiological. Your NP continues regular check-ins.
Whether you choose gradual taper or long-term maintenance, your NP develops a sustainable plan. Aftercare coordination includes provider transitions, pharmacy continuity, alumni support, and a clear path forward for your medication management.
