Those requiring the highest levels of care may participate in their partial hospitalization program or intensive outpatient programing. These types of programs offer structured and in depth outpatient treatment requiring group sessions lasting three or more hours daily and on multiple days each week. Additionally, individuals work with counselors one on one where they receive education on topics such as relapse prevention and stress management. Their PHP and IOP allow individuals to go home each night and strongly encourage family and support system participation.
Signature Health’s medication assisted treatment (MAT) is for adults 18 years and older. They also offer treatment for pregnant women. Medication assisted treatment uses FDA approved medications to ease withdrawal symptoms, prevent relapse, decrease the risk of overdose, reduce the risk of criminal activity associated with substance use disorder and lower the risk of infectious disease transmission. Depending on the individual’s treatment plan, MAT is often used in conjunction with other programs such as the PHP or IOP.
