Aspire Health Partners – Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Aspire Health Partners in Orlando, Florida, is a facility that primarily focuses on providing medication assisted treatment for addiction. This treatment is available to adult males and females. The medications used during these treatments include Vivitrol, Suboxone, and methadone. The facility focuses on helping individuals recover from addictions to opioids and alcohol. Along with medication, Aspire Health Partners provides psychiatric services that include intensive counseling. Staff members are trained to assist clients with issues such as depression and anxiety while they recover from their addiction. Services are also available to help families as they deal with the challenges of supporting a loved one recovering from addiction.

One thing I admire about this facility is that they offer different medication options to help clients as they detox. Patients can receive a medication that’s best suited for them. Vivitrol is a form of naltrexone that is injectable. It blocks receptors that are activated by opioids in order to prevent relapse and also helps treat alcohol dependence. Methadone and Suboxone differ from Vivitrol in that they’re both taken daily through a pill or a film that dissolves under the tongue. Staff members will determine which one a patient should take based on their individual needs. In general, Vivitrol is given to those who struggle with daily medication, as it is a once-monthly injection.

Different forms of counseling approaches that therapists may use with patients include motivational therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Aspire Health Partners on Columbia Street operates on a daily basis. They’re available mornings and afternoons during the week and mornings on the weekend.
