Groups Recover Together: Community-Focused Opioid Addiction Treatment
Groups Recover Together provides compassionate and effective treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD), focusing on accessible care that fits into the lives of members. Their recovery model combines medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with the power of community support, aiming to help individuals regain control of their lives and address their underlying challenges.
Accessible and Integrated Treatment Model
The program is built on the foundation of weekly group therapy sessions combined with Suboxone (Buprenorphine/Naloxone) prescriptions. This integrated approach addresses both the physical cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opioid addiction, while simultaneously providing essential behavioral health support. The goal is fast access to life-saving treatment, making recovery possible without needing to put life entirely on hold. Groups Recover Together offers both in-person and virtual care options across several states, increasing flexibility and accessibility for those seeking help.
Comprehensive Support Services
Recovery is often more than just stopping drug use; it involves rebuilding various aspects of one’s life. Groups Recover Together offers support designed to help members achieve stability beyond sobriety. The care team includes licensed counselors, medical providers, and recovery support specialists who work collaboratively with each member.
Key components of the program include:
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): Prescribing Suboxone to manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
- Weekly Group Therapy: Connecting members with peers and trained counselors in a supportive environment for accountability and shared experience.
- Life Goal Assistance: Providing guidance and resources to improve housing, employment, and relationships.
- 24/7 Support: Access to a hotline staffed by the Client Services Center for assistance outside of normal office hours.
By fostering a community of peers and professionals, Groups Recover Together ensures that members have continuous support and accountability. This focus on building a strong network is crucial, as recovery is viewed as a journey best taken alongside others who understand the experience.
