The Whole-Person Approach
At Granite Wellness Centers, our Medication-Assisted Treatment Program provides impactful care for opioid use conditions. MAT combines FDA-approved medications to treat substance use disorder alongside counseling and behavioral therapies.
MAT has been shown to be effective for millions of people. Our contemporary therapies empower individuals to reclaim their lives, connect with families, improve health, succeed in work, and enjoy positive roles in their communities.
We have many options available for clients suffering from the complex effects of opioid use disorder. The brain of a chemically dependent person needs time to heal. In this early stage of recovery, clients often have little impulse control and limited ability to counter the urge to use drugs.
While there is no single approach that works for everyone, medication-assisted treatment with methadone, buprenorphine (Suboxone ®), or naltrexone (Vivitrol®), are proven treatment therapies.
Sharing Help and Hope
Granite Wellness Centers are here to care for our clients. Our wellness team consists of highly skilled professionals with medical expertise to support individuals in recovery and healing from a wide range of substance use disorders.
We know that medical treatment can be vital, but medication alone is just the first step on the road to recovery.
Treatment doesn’t stop with medication. To continue the journey to wellness, GWC has multiple levels of residential and outpatient services. This includes integrated programs for a holistic and safe experience.
Treatment therapies for the whole person combine the use of:
- Evidence-based behavioral therapies
- Education
- Relapse prevention programs
- Medication
Healing and health take time. Granite Wellness Centers provides encouragement and personalized care as our clients work toward meaningful change.
Making Informed Choices
The decision to include medication in treatment is a personal one. It is also one part of a journey which includes programs such as:
- Drug and alcohol counseling
- Cognitive behavioral therapy
- Trauma-focused therapy
- Mindfulness practices
Healthcare providers may play an important role in helping patients make informed decisions. Our clients are encouraged to talk with their doctors or to contact Granite Wellness Centers directly for more information.
