Studies prove that when appropriately prescribed and combined with therapy, medication helps to significantly improve outcomes.
Our Medication-Assisted Treatment Programs Virginia
At Insight Into Action Therapy, we believe in using appropriate non-addictive medications, proven for their results in long-term treatment.
Opioid Treatment Program
When dealing with prescription opioid addiction or other opioid abuse, there are several medication-assisted treatment programs available. Each of these treatments deploys a different medication to address the needs of the client. However, no matter the medication, clients participate in therapy to work through their issues. In this way, we address addiction both physically and mentally giving clients the best chance at a successful recovery.
One common medication is buprenorphine (Suboxone), which helps individuals reduce or quit their use of opiates. As a partial opioid agonist, buprenorphine allows for reduced euphoria and physical dependence on opiates by suppressing symptoms of withdrawal and decreasing cravings. Our MAT program uses this alongside medication monitoring, drug screening, and therapy. We administer buprenorphine through an oral film, tablet, or injection lasting 24 hours.
Another medication Insight Into Action uses in our medication-assisted treatment programs is Vivitrol (naltrexone for extended-release injectable suspension). This medication helps prevent relapse for alcohol and opioid-dependent clients. As an opioid antagonist, Vivitrol works by blocking molecules from attaching to receptors, nullifying the euphoric effects of alcohol and opiates introduced to the body. The extended-release injection lasts for a month allowing clients to focus on the necessary lifestyle changes for a balanced recovery. Clients who have received the injection report a reduction in cravings and decreased effects of alcohol or opioids. Thus, as a non-addictive and proven means to help reduce heavy drinking in days, we combine this highly effective treatment with therapy.
