FDA-approved medications combined with evidence-based therapy, managed by our on-site Nurse Practitioner. Client choice on taper vs. maintenance — available at all program levels.
A combination medication that reduces opioid cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Suboxone is one of the most widely prescribed MAT medications, helping stabilize brain chemistry so you can focus on therapeutic recovery work.
A once-monthly injection that blocks opioid receptors, eliminating the ability to get high. Ideal for clients who have completed detox and want a non-addictive, long-acting option for relapse prevention.
A daily oral medication that blocks opioid receptors and reduces alcohol cravings. Naltrexone is non-addictive and works well for clients treating both opioid and alcohol use disorders.
A single-ingredient formulation of buprenorphine used in specific clinical situations. Your Nurse Practitioner will determine if Subutex is the right fit based on your individual medical history and needs.
Our NP is available on-site for medication evaluations within 24 hours for PHP clients and 72 hours for IOP clients. Regular medication reviews and dosage adjustments ensure your treatment stays on track.
For clients currently on methadone maintenance, we coordinate with your existing provider to ensure continuity of care while you participate in our therapeutic programming at any level.
Your medication journey begins with a thorough evaluation by our on-site Nurse Practitioner. This includes a complete substance use history, medical review, and honest conversation about your goals — whether that's long-term maintenance, eventual taper, or exploring which medication feels right for you.
Based on your assessment, our NP will discuss the available FDA-approved options — Suboxone, Vivitrol, Naltrexone, Subutex, or methadone coordination. You'll make an informed choice together, with full transparency about how each medication works, potential side effects, and what to expect.
During the first days and weeks, your NP closely monitors your response to medication — adjusting dosage as needed to minimize withdrawal symptoms and cravings. This stabilization period is critical, and our team is available to support you through any early discomfort.
Once stabilized, you'll have regular check-ins with the NP for medication reviews, dosage adjustments, and ongoing evaluation. These reviews are integrated into your therapeutic programming so medication management and therapy work hand-in-hand toward your recovery goals.
As you progress in recovery, you and your NP will discuss long-term plans — whether that means continued maintenance at a stable dose or a gradual, medically supervised taper. There is no pressure either way. The timeline is yours, guided by clinical expertise and your personal goals.
Ongoing prescribing, monitoring, and dosage adjustments by our on-site Nurse Practitioner — integrated seamlessly into your overall treatment programming.
Weekly one-on-one sessions with a licensed therapist who coordinates with your NP to ensure medication and therapeutic goals are aligned and working together.
Evidence-based group sessions (CBT, DBT, ACT) that complement your medication by building the coping skills, emotional regulation, and peer connections essential for sustained recovery.
Understanding how your medication works empowers better outcomes. We provide education on mechanisms, expectations, side effects, and the science behind MAT so you can make informed decisions.
MAT can carry stigma. We provide family education sessions to help loved ones understand how medication-assisted treatment works, why it's effective, and how they can support your recovery.
No pressure either way. Some clients choose long-term maintenance for stability; others prefer a gradual taper. Your path is individualized — guided by clinical expertise and your personal goals, never by ideology.

MAT is integrated into every level of care — not restricted to one program
Your therapist has the capacity to know you — not just your chart
Your MAT journey begins with a comprehensive NP evaluation including substance use history, medical review, and an honest conversation about your goals. Together, you and your Nurse Practitioner select the medication that best fits your situation — whether that's Suboxone, Vivitrol, Naltrexone, or another option.
Once your medication is selected, the induction phase begins. Your NP closely monitors your initial response, adjusts dosage as needed, and ensures cravings and withdrawal symptoms are effectively managed. This careful stabilization period sets the foundation for meaningful therapeutic engagement.
With stable dosing established, you fully engage in integrated therapeutic programming — individual therapy, group sessions, psychoeducation, and skill building. Your medication works alongside therapy, reducing cravings so you can focus on the deeper work of recovery and building a sustainable life.
As you progress, your team helps you plan for the future — whether that means continued maintenance at a stable dose, a gradual medically supervised taper, or transitioning your MAT management to an outpatient provider. Aftercare coordination ensures continuity of care beyond our program.
