Substance Abuse Treatment in Orange County

Here at Roots through Recovery, we provide a Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for opioid addiction. We take the misuse of medications very seriously. All medications are prescribed under the oversight of our physician, and we follow strict MAT protocols.

We know that every patient is different. So, our team conducts a comprehensive medical and psychosocial assessment of the patient before prescribing medications. Once we determined that there is a need for medications, our medical director prescribes and manages the patient’s medications.  He closely oversees the patient’s case to ensure the dosage is correct and not hindering the treatment.

Some of the common medications we provide depending on the need of the patient are buprenorphine, buprenorphine/naloxone and naltrexone. Since these medications works differently, we take these into consideration as well as the risks and benefits they provide to the patient. We take into account the right medication that will make the patient feel normal with little to no side effect.  The patient will not feel withdrawal symptoms and can manage or control cravings.

For the patient to fully recovery, we instruct them to faithfully follow the treatment plan. The medications we prescribe can be taken safely for years. If the patient feels a need to change dosage, switch to another medicine or completely stop, he must first consult our medical staff in doing so.
