  • Outpatient rehab is a type of addiction treatment that allows individuals to receive therapy and support while living at home or in a sober living environment. It's a less intensive option than inpatient rehab, but still provides structured care and support for recovery.

  • Outpatient rehab typically involves attending regular therapy sessions and support group meetings at a treatment center or clinic or on line (telemed). The frequency and duration of these sessions can vary depending on the individual's needs and the specific program. Outpatient rehab may also involve medication-assisted treatment, holistic therapies, and other forms of support.

  • Outpatient rehab allows individuals to maintain their daily routines and responsibilities, such as work or school, while receiving treatment. It's often more affordable than inpatient rehab, and can provide a supportive community of peers and professionals.

  • The length of outpatient rehab varies depending on the individual's needs and progress. Some programs may last several weeks or months, while others may be ongoing. The intensity of treatment may also change over time, with more frequent sessions in the beginning and less frequent sessions as the individual progresses in their recovery.

  • Outpatient rehab can be an effective treatment option for many individuals with substance use disorders. Research has shown that it can be just as effective as inpatient rehab for some people, especially when combined with medication-assisted treatment and a strong support system. However, it's important to note that everyone's recovery journey is unique, and the most effective treatment approach will depend on the individual's specific needs and circumstances.

  • The MAT Recovery comfort detox Device is a revolutionary, 100% drug-free method designed to help opioid and alcoholdependent patients withdraw from opioids with significantly reduced pain and fear associated with withdrawal symptoms. This F.D.A cleared device functions as a percutaneous nerve field stimulator (PEFS) that initiates electrical stimulation upon application. This process enhances the release of neuropeptids in the central nervous system, binding to specific receptors to alleviate physical withdrawal symptoms. With the MAT Recovery Comfort Detox Device (CDD), patients can experience a 60% reduction in severe withdrawal symptoms within just 20 minutes and up to an 80% alleviation within the first hour, offering swift and impactful relief.

  • Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is an approach to addiction treatment that involves the use of medications along with counseling and behavioral therapies. MAT is primarily used for the treatment of opioid use disorder, but it can also be used for alcohol use disorder and other substance use disorders.

    The medications used in MAT work by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms, blocking the effects of drugs or alcohol, or a combination of these effects. The most commonly used medications in MAT are:

    Methadone: A long-acting opioid agonist that reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

    Buprenorphine: A partial opioid agonist that reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms without producing the euphoria associated with opioids.

    Naltrexone: An opioid antagonist that blocks the effects of opioids and reduces cravings.

    MAT is an evidence-based treatment approach that has been shown to improve treatment retention, reduce the risk of overdose, and improve overall health and social functioning. It can be provided in both inpatient and outpatient settings, and is often used in combination with other forms of therapy and support.

    It's important to note that MAT is not a "one-size-fits-all" solution, and the specific medication and dosage will depend on the individual's needs and circumstances. A qualified healthcare provider or addiction specialist can help determine the most appropriate MAT approach for each individual.

  • Yes, teletherapy can be an effective treatment option for substance use disorder. Research has shown that teletherapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for a range of mental health conditions, including addiction.

    Teletherapy provides greater access to care, especially for those who may face barriers to in-person treatment, such as transportation or geographic location. It also allows for more flexibility in scheduling and can be a convenient option for those with busy schedules or who prefer to receive treatment from the comfort of their own home.

    In terms of substance use disorder treatment specifically, teletherapy can provide support and accountability for individuals in recovery. It can be used for individual therapy, group therapy, and medication management, among other forms of treatment.

  • The freedom from cravings for alcohol and drugs is critical. By removing the intrusive compulsion to drink or use, patients can refocus on their life, their relationships, their family and the long-term psychosocial behavioral aspects of their recovery. It is of particular importance in the first 90 days of recovery.

  • In addition to utilizing medicine to address the physical and neurobiological aspects of the disease, patients will participate in intensive and individualized one-on-one sessions with a recovery counselor. As discussed above, to obtain and maintain sobriety, the physical and psychosocial/behavioral aspect of addiction must be addressed. Once physical cravings are suppressed, the individual can focus entirely on the addictions equally important and difficult psychosocial aspect. Study after study indicates that medical therapy combined with counseling is superior to medical or behavioral therapy alone.

  • The cost of our programs can vary depending on a number of factors, type of treatment, severity and type of addiction and duration of the program. Insurance may cover at least a portion of our programs depending on your particular policy type.

  • MAT Recovery Centers work with various financial partners in an effort to make financing available for those people in need.
