MedMark Treatment Centers Columbus North

Services

Columbus, GA, Opioid Addiction Services

At our Columbus, GA, methadone clinic, we specialize in medication-assisted treatment (MAT). Our MAT approach involves a combination of treatments and services to improve your chance of a successful recovery. We provide medication, therapy and supplemental services to address all aspects of addiction. Learn more about our services below.

Methadone and Buprenorphine Treatment

Medicine acts as the foundation for MAT. It fulfills the brain’s need for opioids, without causing you euphoria, reducing withdrawal symptoms. With this physical aspect of addiction managed, you can work on the emotional and psychological elements. At MedMark Columbus North, we provide treatment with:

• Methadone: With decades of positive results in patients dealing with opioid addiction, methadone has a reputation as MAT’s gold standard. Methadone patients take the medicine at their clinic every day during the first stages of treatment. Later in recovery, they can earn take-home privileges by meeting federal and state guidelines. MAT with methadone gives patients with severe opioid use disorder extra structure.
• Buprenorphine: Newer, but proven effective, buprenorphine is an alternative to methadone that provides relief from withdrawal symptoms and provides patients the opportunity to focus on other areas of treatment.

When you begin MAT, our staff will work with you to find a medicine that fits your symptoms.

Individual, Group and Family Counseling

To help patients handle the mental elements of addiction, we offer three types of therapy:

• Individual: We require every MAT patient to take part in one-on-one opioid addiction therapy. Your counseling appointments will give you the chance to explore your opioid-related thoughts and feelings. The therapist will help you set recovery goals and build strategies for meeting them.
• Group: As one of our MAT patients, you may also choose to join group therapy. During this counseling, you’ll share your experiences with your recovery peers.
• Family: In family counseling, you can participate in therapy sessions with family members and loved ones. You’ll get the opportunity to rebuild your support system and mend relationships.

You can combine these therapy services to manage your recovery habits and coping skills.

Social and Medical Support

We provide additional medical and social support services to assist each patient in all aspects of recovery. These forms of assistance include:

• Case management: Your case manager will coordinate your treatment plan by communicating your care goals to everyone on your team.
• Physicals and drug testing: Our medical team can keep track of your physical health to improve your chances of a successful recovery.
• Coordinated pregnancy treatment: Pregnant patients can receive tailored care that takes their unique needs and health changes into account.
• Discharge planning: If you complete MAT, we can arrange a discharge plan that helps you prevent relapse and maintain healthy habits.

Our team aims to provide patient-centered care tailored to your unique experience with addiction. These additional services help us achieve such a goal.
