Substance abuse is one of our nation’s major health problems and demands effective treatment. We offer both individual and group therapy to engage anyone affected with a substance use disorder. Individual therapy provides an opportunity to become educated about alcohol and drugs, learn skills essential to recovery, and develop strategies to prevent relapse. Group therapy, in turn, works well for those needing affiliation and connection with others experiencing similar issues. Substance abuse treatment is very effective in treating co-occurring disorders. Sometimes the use of pharmacological medications, combined with behavioral therapies, is necessary to treat substance use disorders. Medications prescribed as part of Medication-Assisted Treatment models are part of the comprehensive treatment approach that focuses on the "whole patient."

Detoxing without the use of medications may cause pain and discomfort, increasing the risk of relapse. Anyone who may be experiencing pain and discomfort from opioid or alcohol withdrawals can be a good candidate for MAT. MAT increases the change of remaining drug-free long term as it works as a tool to chemically trick the brain into believing that the substance is still present.
