A new approach to substance use.
Alomere Health's Substance Use Care Team believes in providing a whole-patient approach to treatment.
Medication-Assisted Treatment
Are you or a loved one struggling with opioid addiction, whether heroin or prescription pain medication? Let’s connect. We have a team of physicians at Alexandria Clinic who are certified to prescribe medications that can help patients overcome opioid addiction. This process is known as Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT).
MAT is the use of medication, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies to provide a “whole-patient” approach to the treatment of substance use disorders.
These medications will relieve the withdrawal symptoms and psychological cravings that cause chemical imbalances within the body. Our MAT programs provide a safe and controlled level of medication that can help a patient overcome the use of an abused opioid.
Members of the care team and a physician will meet with you to assess whether MAT is a fit for you. If you are a suitable candidate, our care team will help you develop a plan of care that works best with your lifestyle. Your MAT program can be either short-term or long-term, depending on your needs.
Yes. Our MAT appointments are integrated into our family medicine clinic so they remain confidential, like any other appointment.
