Medication management is a vital component of the comprehensive care provided at Recovery Center of Baltimore, our residential substance abuse facility. Our medication management service is designed to ensure the safe and effective use of medications as part of clients’ individualized treatment plans. This service is integrated into our holistic approach, recognizing the role that medication can play in supporting the recovery process.
Historically, medication has shown it can be most effective when used in combination with counseling or psychotherapy. There are many mental health problems and just as many more medications to help treat them. The medications range from mood stabilizers, antipsychotic medications, anti-depressants, medication for attention, and anti-anxiety medications.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
Another practice helpful with treatment for substance abuse is Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT).
This method is the use of medications and therapy as a total process for the treatment of substance abuse. Medications can assist with the reduction of cravings and other symptoms of withdrawal from a substance. Medications can also stop the neurological paths that produce the satisfying feeling produced by a substance or prompt undesirable feelings when a substance is taken.
We offer Suboxone, Vivitrol, and Sublocade Maintenance Treatment to our community members suffering from opiate/opioid addiction. We provide medication treatment as well as supportive therapy services to our clients where the combination increases the success rate of the treatment as well as in preventing a relapse. We also provide counseling to family and friends in creating a supportive environment for our addiction clients.
We accept clients on MAT or methadone maintenance, and we partner with a local community provider to assist with maintenance while in the residential program.
