It can be challenging to manage a dual diagnosis while in recovery without additional support. According to the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS), medication-assisted treatment (MAT) can help an individual experiencing challenges in recovery maintain stability. MAT can be defined as an effective treatment method that involves taking prescription medications in combination with evidence-based psychotherapies for substance use disorders (SUDs) or co-occurring mental health conditions.
Solely taking prescription pills may not be very efficacious. Medication alone may treat symptoms but not address the individual’s targeted issue. Holistic care at Plum Creek Recovery Ranch works to address a client’s mind, body, and soul to treat the individual as a whole and gain greater benefits.
Many individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) require dual support. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), prescription medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) have been proven to be an effective treatment for OUD. The FDA is diligently working to expand access to opioid addiction treatment.
To many individuals, a substance relapse can seem like a major setback. Although this is a common concern, combining prescription medications with evidenced-based therapy can provide the comprehensive healing needed to maintain lasting sobriety while in recovery.
Although taking on a MAT approach to care may seem like a lot, our clients at Plum Creek Recovery Ranch have found success in doing so. Medication-assisted treatment can further enhance one’s recovery and provide several benefits to one’s path to a sober lifestyle. Common advantages that can come from MAT include:
Here at Plum Creek Recovery Ranch, we take great pride in providing evidence-based treatment options to deliver the best care possible to our clients. The clients at our recovery center achieve long-term sobriety through receiving our clinical support services.
FDA-approved MOUD includes buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone. Here at Plum Creek Recovery Ranch, our MAT program provides methadone to manage certain symptoms. Our medically supervised detox program ensures client safety by managing alcohol and drug withdrawal symptoms using a combination of psychotherapy, prescription medications, and complementary medicine for relief.
Our compassionate clinical team understands that recovery from opioids, alcohol, and more often requires consistent support for ongoing stability. We have created a safe and welcoming community at Plum Creek Recovery Ranch, where clients and their loved ones can explore various aspects of recovery and heal from the damaging effects of chronic substance abuse.
Different conditions require unique methods of care. For example, methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone are helpful drugs in treating the effects of severe opioid use disorder.
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) can lead to both mental and physical health complications. Disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone are effective prescription medications in treating the severe effects of alcohol dependency.
For those who are seeking a more structured treatment plan, our clients at Plum Creek Recovery Ranch have found success after integrating MAT with CBT and DBT. CBT helps our clients focus more on the present rather than fixate on their past. DBT assists our clients in managing their tough emotions linked with their condition to improve relationships that may have been impaired by their active addiction.
According to the Missouri Department of Mental Health, there are several myths regarding medication-assisted treatment. Plum Creek Recovery Ranch helps our clients understand that MAT does not increase the risk of overdose nor hinder their recovery process. MAT is evidence-based and is proven to be the recommended course of treatment for opioid addiction.
There is a strong link between SUD and trauma. Not only is this so, but substance withdrawal can sometimes be life-threatening. Thus, safe recovery programs are important as they help clients feel engaged and supported. Our team at Plum Creek Recovery Ranch provides our clients with a safe and controlled environment for medication-assisted treatment.
The detoxification process can be very uncomfortable. This can be an uneasy process for some individuals with SUD. Knowing this, our clients who attend our alcohol or drug detox program undergo detox and early recovery under the supervision of our addiction and mental health experts. We offer 24/7 monitoring and support to ensure clients receive immediate and effective treatment during detox.
Knowing that it is a common occurrence for those with SUD to relapse within the first year after completing treatment, MAT can help aid in relapse prevention. When leaving treatment, we connect our clients to psychiatric care provided by our network to ensure they find the necessary follow-up care for their medication management.
Sometimes, psychotherapy alone may not be enough. A medication-assisted treatment program is often best suited for individuals with a more severe case of addiction or dual diagnosis. MAT helps normalize brain chemistry to help individuals maintain stabilization.
Medication-assisted treatment can help with lasting change by addressing the biological and psychological aspects of addiction. MAT combines medications with behavioral therapies and social support. Doing so helps ease withdrawal symptoms and curb cravings while providing a foundation for sustained abstinence.
Our team at Plum Creek Recovery Ranch understands that the same form of treatment may not be effective for everyone. Therefore, our trained specialists are happy to develop an individualized treatment plan to tailor unique services to our client’s specific MAT needs.
Ongoing support is an essential element in the healing process. Therefore, it is important to lead family therapy programs to educate the family about their loved one’s addiction. The use of family therapy at our recovery center involves the participation of family members to address relationship dynamics and promote healing.
If an individual with SUD attempts detoxification alone, this can be a dangerous process. Our dedicated team of addiction recovery experts in our residential program uses medication-assisted treatment and other services to ensure clients feel safe and comfortable during the detox process.
It is common for those with SUD to relapse within the first year after completing their treatment program. Here at Plum Creek Recovery Ranch, our expert team of professionals provides aftercare support to ensure a safe and strong recovery. Clients at Plum Creek Recovery Ranch will gain peer support and learn the skills and strategies needed to maintain lasting sobriety for a better future.
