Comprehensive Addiction Treatment Services at Memorial Health System Outpatient Clinic
Facing substance use disorder (SUD) is a significant challenge, but Memorial Health System’s Outpatient Clinic provides a compassionate and comprehensive path toward recovery. The program is designed to meet individuals where they are, offering integrated addiction treatment that spans from initial assessment through detox, stabilization, and crucial aftercare support. This approach recognizes that effective recovery requires addressing both the physical and psychological components of addiction, ensuring a foundation for long-term health and sobriety.
Integrated Care and Specialized Treatment
Our commitment to patient well-being is evident in our multidisciplinary team of professionals. Patients receive specialized care from licensed therapists, registered nurses, social workers, and psychiatrists. This coordinated effort ensures that every individual’s treatment plan is holistic and personalized, accounting for any co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder, which often accompany SUD. The integration of mental health services is critical for achieving sustainable recovery.
Key treatment components available through the program include:
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for alcohol and opioid dependence, supervised by clinical experts.
- Individual and Group Therapy, incorporating evidence-based modalities like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
- Ongoing assessment and education provided by registered nurses.
- Care coordination and support services to help navigate the recovery journey.

Focus on Outpatient and Aftercare Support
While some patients may begin their journey with inpatient detox and stabilization, the outpatient clinic provides essential services for those transitioning out of acute care or requiring flexible treatment options. Outpatient programs allow individuals to maintain daily responsibilities while receiving intensive therapeutic support. Furthermore, we place a strong emphasis on aftercare, recognizing that recovery is a continuous process. Support services are available to help patients stay connected to resources, maintain sobriety, and build a strong recovery community.
