Blairsville, PA Buprenorphine and Methadone Treatment Services
At MedMark Blairsville, we specialize in medication-assisted treatment (MAT). This care model involves a combination of medicine, therapy and support services to address all aspects of opioid addiction.
Services
Methadone Maintenance Treatment
Addiction specialists first used methadone to treat opioid addiction in the 1960s and 1970s, and we still use it today. Methadone has years of positive outcomes for people in recovery from opioid addiction. During a methadone program, you will visit our clinic every day for treatment. These daily appointments give you extra structure as you become accustomed to recovery. As you reach recovery goals set by federal regulations, you can earn the privilege to take methadone at home.
Buprenorphine Maintenance Treatment
Buprenorphine offers a flexible treatment model for patients with mild to moderate addiction symptoms. It has a “ceiling effect” where it loses effectiveness above a certain amount. This makes it safer for patients to take on their own. During a buprenorphine program, your doctor will write a prescription that you fill at a pharmacy. You will then take buprenorphine at home according to your doctor’s directions. Your care team will help you understand whether buprenorphine or methadone will suit your symptoms better.
Individual and Group Substance Abuse Counseling
MAT also involves therapy with certified addiction counselors. Every patient takes part in one-on-one counseling to manage the emotional elements of recovery. You might also decide to participate in group therapy, where you will share your experiences with other patients. These services help you develop coping skills and recovery strategies.
Addiction and Relapse Prevention Education
To better support you in the recovery process, we offer additional addiction and relapse prevention services. Our educational materials and classes will teach you how to manage potential triggers for use. You will also learn how to make a plan to follow if relapse happens.
Community Resource Connections and Referrals
Our team partners with community initiatives that help you get the resources you need during recovery. We welcome you to ask for referrals to organizations for food, housing and other necessities.
Discharge Planning
The journey to recovery continues after you finish your services at our clinic. Our discharge planning services include detoxification, referrals and follow-ups to support you after treatment.
Our Core Values
We welcome anyone who needs help with an opioid addiction to reach out to us. At MedMark Blairsville, we assist patients from all backgrounds with their recovery journeys. Our team promotes a welcoming environment where you can feel safe during treatment. These values drive our service to our patients:
- Everyone deserves respect and dignity in all stages of recovery.
- As a health condition, opioid addiction requires treatment, not stigmatization.
- For the best outcome, a patient needs personalized addiction care.
- Treatment for addiction should address its emotional, physical and social aspects.
- Services should evolve as the patient grows in recovery.
