Medication-Assisted Treatment
Medication-Assisted Treatment runs alongside any of the three
Some people are offered medication as part of their treatment — managed here, by our clinicians, in the same building as your groups. It works with whichever level you are in, and it carries on as you step down. It sits alongside the counselling and group work rather than in place of it.
Whether medication is appropriate is a clinical decision made at your assessment, with you.
How the decision gets made
You don't have to work out which one you need
People arrive certain they need the lightest option, or convinced they need the most. Both are usually guesses, and neither is a good way to choose.
What actually happens is an assessment. We look at what you're using and how often, what's been tried before, what else is going on medically and mentally, what your week looks like, and who is around you. Then a level is recommended.
You can disagree with it. Plenty of people start higher than they expected and step down sooner than they expected, or the reverse. It's a starting point, not a sentence.
Moving between levels
Stepping down — Partial Care to IOP to Outpatient — is the usual path, and it's a sign things are going well rather than a reduction in care.
Stepping up happens too, and it isn't a failure. If a week goes badly, more structure for a while is a normal clinical response, not a punishment.
Because all three run in the same building with the same clinicians, moving between them doesn't mean starting over with strangers.
What is the difference between PHP and IOP?
Hours. Partial Care is five days a week, five to six hours a day. IOP is three to five sessions a week at about three hours each. The clinicians, the building and the approach are identical — PHP simply gives you more of it. In practice the difference is whether you can hold a normal working week while you're in treatment.
Can I work while I'm in treatment?
In Outpatient, yes. In IOP, usually — we run three group times a day, including an evening group that starts after typical work hours. In Partial Care it's sometimes possible depending on your job, but five to six hours a day is a real commitment and we'd rather be honest about that than have you agree to something you can't sustain.
Do you offer detox or residential treatment?
No. All three of our levels are outpatient — you sleep at home every night. If your assessment shows you need medically supervised detox or a residential program first, we will tell you that plainly and help you find where to go, rather than admitting you to something that isn't enough.
Is Medication-Assisted Treatment a separate program?
No. MAT runs alongside whichever level you are in, managed by our clinicians in the same building. It isn't something you choose instead of therapy, and it doesn't end when you step down a level.
What if I start in the wrong one?
Then it gets changed. Moving up or down a level is routine and happens all the time. Because it's the same team and the same building, a change of level doesn't mean starting again with new people.
You don't have to know what you need yet
Call and tell us what's going on. The assessment is what sorts out which level fits — and if none of ours do, we'll say so and point you somewhere that does.
