Substance Use Disorder & Addiction: Therapy with Results

---

There are many medications that can help many people recover from opioid use disorder, but they remain highly underutilized. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, fewer than half of private-sector treatment programs offer medications for opioid use disorders, and of patients in those programs who might benefit, only a third actually receive it. Overcoming the misunderstandings and other barriers that prevent wider adoption of these treatments is crucial for tackling the problem of opioid use disorder and the epidemic of opioid overdose in the United States.    

We offer FDA-approved opioid treatment programs which combine medications and behavioral therapy to treat substance use disorders. We truly believe in this "whole-patient" (Physical, Cognitive & Psychosocial approach).  All MAT services are administered by an on-site medical doctor; a board certified anesthesiologist. 

• Disulfiram is a medication that treats chronic alcoholism. It is most effective in people who have already gone through detoxification or are in the initial stage of abstinence. 
• Acamprosate is a medication for people in recovery who have already stopped drinking alcohol and want to avoid drinking. It works to prevent people from drinking alcohol, but it does not prevent withdrawal symptoms after people drink alcohol. 
• Naltrexone, when used as a treatment for alcohol use disorder, blocks the euphoric effects and feelings of intoxication.
