Support is available; recovery is possible.
Medicated Assisted Treatment is the Swiss Army knife of addiction care—because whether you need to stop craving, stay alive, or just make it to work on Monday, it’s got a tool for that.
The main “tools” we use at AARS are Methadone and Buprenorphine. The medicine we prescribe is not a cure all, it is a “tool” to assist you in your treatment. A previous patient of ours, who attended a local anonymous meeting in town, pointed out a reference to the disease of addiction in some well known literature and compared it to their own experience. This patient said, “I have a threefold disease that affects my mind, my body and my spirit. I used methadone as a tool to cure the physical aspects of my disease, and once I was stable on my dosage, I was able to focus on the mental and spiritual aspects. After those two aspects were in line, I knew it was time to taper off my medication. With the guidance from my counselor and medical staff, I was able to taper off completely without any withdrawal symptoms.”
This patient has successfully completed treatment and continues to flourish in the recovery community.
