ARH Addiction Medicine Services
ARH Recovery Clinic:
- The ARH Recovery Clinic is a transitional outpatient addiction clinic for anyone who wants help to stop using opioid drugs. Our compassionate team provides a bridge using medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid addiction until referral to the next stage of treatment.
- One of the most important benefits of MAT is that it can reduce the risk of relapse (compared to abstinence without medication) and prevent overdose death. Multiple relapses during treatment for physical dependence on opioids are common. During each period of abstinence, physical tolerance for opioids decreases. When someone relapses, taking drug amounts that they used before, the risk of fatal overdose is higher because the body is no longer used to that quantity of opioids.
- ARH Recovery Clinic provides trained counselors who welcome the opportunity to help patients and families navigate treatment and recovery.
