MAT: Realigning with Recovery

Just like any other disease, there are medications available to help those suffering from an addiction. Trenton Healthcare uses FDA-approved Methadone and Suboxone in our MAT programming to ease cravings and physical symptoms of withdrawal. This is vital, especially in the early first days in recovery.

Once the body has been treated, it’s time to focus on the mind. Research shows when MAT includes medication and counseling services, the chances of achieving and maintaining recovery are high. That’s why we also include substance abuse counseling with our MAT services. Addiction isn’t just a physical disease – it’s equally important to treat the mental component of the disease as well.

You will also have access to:

• Physical examinations
• Psychological assessments
• Substance use disorder counseling
• Job readiness programming
• Educational seminars
• Substance abuse counseling
  • Individual counseling
  • Group counseling
  • Intensive outpatient counseling
• Subutex for Pregnant Women

Frequency varies on a client-by-client basis, but many clients work their way up to receive “take-home” doses of their prescribed MAT medication.

Suboxone Doctor: Treatment with Convenience

Office-Based Opioid Treatment (OBOT) is yet another life-saving treatment option Trenton Healthcare offers. OBOT uses Suboxone yet is different from MAT programming in that. Instead, clients receive prescriptions for their maintenance medication in an office setting from a Suboxone doctor. After a quick assessment, eligible clients can receive a take-home dose of Suboxone, followed by a prescription for Suboxone from a doctor or LP Nurse Practitioner. While not mandatory, RCA encourages you to participate in substance abuse counseling. We have counseling available at most of our locations.

An assessment is needed to determine if OBOT is a good choice for you. To get started, call 609-393-8000 to schedule your assessment. The assessment will consist of several questions, but the three big areas that determine what eligibility and dosage will be: what your drug of choice is, how long you’ve been using it, and how much. If the nurse or doctor determines you’re a good fit for OBOT, you will likely have a prescription called in that same day.

We provide transportation for patients

We’ll do whatever it takes to help you get the treatment you need – including providing transportation to and from our facility with CPR and Narcan certified drivers. Transportation through a Medicaid participating service is available for those who qualify. Call 1-800-RECOVERY and, during a quick pre-screen, our Treatment Advisor will ask you if you need transportation.
