Medication for Substance Use Disorder

Most medical disorders are treated with medication and substance use disorders are no different. Medication is just one of the important tools that are used to support recovery goals. There are a number of pharmacological options for addressing the cravings related to alcohol and opiates, including long-acting medication that only requires one dose each month. Our board-certified addictionologist and psychiatric nurse practitioner can prescribe medication based upon an individual client’s needs and make medication adjustments throughout the course of treatment.
