With referrals from Network 180 Access Center, patients in their Opioid Treatment Program are given methadone to help with withdrawal symptoms. This is used in conjunction with behavioral therapy and integrated primary medical care. In addition, they offer recovery coaching and connections with community support services. Medications for opioid use disorder is one approach that combines traditional treatment with medications like Suboxone and Vivitrol in an outpatient setting. They might also connect you with a recovery coach to assist with individualized therapy.
Aftercare planning is also part of the program. Offsite, it’s neat that they’re near some nature settings so you can unwind between treatments. The Underground MTB offers trails and a chance to stretch your legs.
The Family Engagement Therapy (FET) program connects women with substance use and co-occurring mental health issues who have dependent children with community resources to assist in their recovery. The care team consists of therapists and case managers. Recovery coaches are also on standby to guide you with their experience. Mothers can get a referral or contact the program directly. This program can be a standalone service or used with another mental health or substance use treatment.
The Recovery Management (RM) program is a community based program for individuals struggling with substance use. It too can be a stand alone service or offered in combination with other programs. With a team of a recovery coach and a recovery therapist, this program aims to assist in the development of supportive recovery and living environments as well as the skills needed to overcome substance use and other mental health issues. Individual therapy is provided, as well as peer support to meet these goals.
