By combining pharmaceutical support with robust counseling, they address both the physical dependence and the underlying behavioral factors contributing to addiction. Their programs are designed to be flexible, accommodating the varying needs and stages of recovery for adult patients.
Medication-Assisted Recovery (MAR)
MAR is a cornerstone of the BHG Mobile treatment program. This medically supervised component helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, providing patients with the stability needed to engage fully in counseling. BHG offers several proven medication options:
- Suboxone (Buprenorphine/Naloxone)
- Extended-release Buprenorphine injections (Brixadi¬ and Sublocade¬)
- Naltrexone treatment (Vivitrol¬)
Initial treatment includes medical screenings and assessments to ensure the safest and most effective medication plan for each individual.
Counseling and Behavioral Health
Effective recovery involves more than just addressing physical dependence; it requires developing coping strategies for stress and triggers. BHG emphasizes addiction counseling, primarily utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques. Counseling services are delivered in various formats:
- Individual Counseling
- Group Counseling
- Family Counseling
These sessions help patients understand the root causes of their addiction, improve mental health, and acquire practical tools for maintaining long-term recovery.
