The Center for Recovery Management offers short term chronic disease management as part of its addiction treatment program. This approach recognizes substance abuse as a chronic disease and shows you how to best manage it as well as other co-occurring chronic disorders you may have.

Usually, this approach focuses heavily on preparing you for long term recovery. You don’t simply “get better” when dealing with SUD, but when looked at as a chronic disease you’ll learn strategies to cope with symptoms and prevent relapse. In essence, it’s laying the path for the ongoing work you’ll be doing.

A chronic disease that the Center for Recovery Management specifically targets is Hepatitis C, which is a common affliction among people who use drugs. The clinic provides screenings and treatment for Hep C as part of substance use treatment.
