MedMark Treatment Centers Mt. Vernon

At MedMark Mt. Vernon, our goal is to provide comprehensive support in an outpatient setting, with services that include:

• Medication-assisted treatment: MedMark Mt. Vernon offers methadone and buprenorphine maintenance treatment to help patients with the physiological effects of opiate withdrawal. Our medical professionals can help determine whether methadone or buprenorphine is the better option for you.
• Individual counseling: Counseling is an integral part of all of our opiate addiction treatment plans as it addresses the emotional and psychological needs of our patients. Through our counseling services, we help each patient learn how he or she became dependent on pain pills or heroin as well as healthy coping mechanisms for dealing with stress.
• Group counseling: Group counseling can be very effective for patients in an opioid treatment program. People often feel very alone and ashamed when entering treatment and group counseling offers a way to feel a sense of community. It helps to know that while everyone’s story is different, there are people who understand how you feel.
• Other supportive services: To further support our patients, we also offer in-house case management services, addiction and relapse prevention education and discharge planning services.
• Referral-based mental health services: MedMark Mt. Vernon provides referrals to mental health services through the Whitehead Institute. Patients can receive assistance with life and social skills, medication management, entitlement assistance, housing, transportation, education and vocational training, legal and financial matters and more.
