FDA-approved medications managed by our on-site Nurse Practitioner in Salem, NH — combined with therapy at every level of care. Your choice: taper or long-term maintenance.
Trailhead offers five FDA-approved medications for opioid and alcohol use disorders. Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) reduces cravings and prevents withdrawal. Subutex (buprenorphine) provides an alternative for clients who cannot tolerate naloxone. Vivitrol (extended-release naltrexone) is a once-monthly injection that blocks opioid receptors entirely.
Oral Naltrexone offers daily dosing flexibility for both opioid and alcohol dependence. Methadone is available through coordinated referral for clients who need full agonist therapy. Every medication decision is made collaboratively between you and our Nurse Practitioner — your biology, your history, your choice.
Within 24 hours of admission, our on-site Nurse Practitioner completes a comprehensive medical evaluation — reviewing your substance use history, medical conditions, prior medication trials, and personal goals. Together, you select the right medication and build a dosing plan tailored to your body and your life.
Ongoing medication management includes regular check-ins, dose adjustments, lab work, and side-effect monitoring. Your NP coordinates with your therapist and clinical team so that medical care and behavioral health move in lockstep. No outside referrals, no waiting — everything happens under one roof.
MAT at Trailhead is never medication alone. Every client receives weekly medication management appointments, individual therapy using CBT and motivational interviewing, and group sessions covering relapse prevention, psychoeducation, and coping skills. Medication education groups help you understand exactly how your medication works, what to expect, and how to manage your treatment long-term.
Case management support covers insurance coordination, pharmacy logistics, and prior authorizations. Family education sessions help loved ones understand MAT as a clinical tool — reducing stigma and building a home environment that supports your recovery.
Trailhead believes in client autonomy. Some people use MAT as a bridge — stabilizing on medication and then tapering off over weeks or months. Others choose long-term maintenance because it supports their best quality of life. Both paths are clinically valid, and we support whichever one you choose.
Your Nurse Practitioner works with you to set dosing goals that align with your recovery timeline. If your goals change — and they often do — your plan adjusts with you. There is no pressure to taper, no judgment for staying on medication, and no one-size-fits-all protocol. This is your recovery.
