Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities

The foundation of the program rests on clinically proven methodologies designed to address both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction. Treatment begins with a thorough assessment to determine the most appropriate course of action, ensuring personalized care from day one.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Miners Medical recognizes the vital role MAT plays in stabilizing patients, reducing cravings, and preventing relapse, particularly for opioid and alcohol use disorders. Medications are administered under careful medical supervision as part of a comprehensive recovery plan that includes counseling and behavioral therapy. MAT is shown to significantly improve treatment outcomes.

Individual and Group Counseling

Behavioral therapies are central to the recovery process, helping patients identify the root causes of their addiction and develop essential coping skills. The program incorporates:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Focuses on changing destructive thought patterns.
• Motivational Interviewing (MI): Enhances the patient’s motivation to change.
• Psychoeducation: Provides patients with a deeper understanding of addiction as a disease.

Commitment to Recovery and Support

Recovery is a continuous process that extends beyond initial treatment. Miners Medical emphasizes the importance of aftercare planning to ensure long-term success. This includes connecting patients with community resources, support groups, and ongoing outpatient services. The goal is not just abstinence, but the development of a resilient, fulfilling life in recovery.
