About VICTORY CLINIC – South Bend
In South Bend, Indiana, Victory Clinical Services is a state-licensed medication assisted recovery program that offers medical and counseling services to individuals with opioid use disorders. The programs use a team based strategy to assist clients in overcoming the negative social, physical and psychological effects of substance abuse. Staff that include physicians, nurses, and certified substance abuse counselors address the resolution of substance abuse issues. They have a three year CARF accreditation.
The basis of their treatment plans is a holistic approach to problem solving, which sees every patient as an individual with the potential to find positive solutions to their substance abuse problems. A harm reduction model, medications and well researched psychosocial interventions like counseling and motivational interviewing are all part of their treatment plan. Using this method, they help patients regain their lives.
Those with long term addiction patterns or those who have not responded well to short term detoxification programs can be considered for their Methadone Maintenance Treatment. Pre screening over the phone or in person with clinic staff is necessary to determine program eligibility or transfer. Clinic staff completes the medical evaluation and assessment for admission or transfer.
They use buprenorphine in their medication assisted treatment program. It has been demonstrated that buprenorphine combined with counseling is a safe and efficient method of treating opiate addiction. For those who want to stabilize their physical addiction, medically supervised withdrawal from methadone or Suboxone is available here. Dose reductions are carried out in an outpatient setting. Schedules can be adjusted to accommodate different needs. Counseling is used to complete aftercare preparation.
Vivitrol maintenance treatment is another service they provide. FDA approved Vivitrol is an injection based medication used monthly to treat opioid dependence. Vivitrol is a useful medication for ongoing care. As long as it is deemed medically necessary, maintenance therapy can go on. Although Vivitrol has no withdrawal symptoms and can be stopped abruptly, the injection effects last for a full 28 days.
