Each of the 4 treatment centers in Milford emphasizes outpatient care, the most flexible and common format for addiction treatment. Outpatient programs let you live at home, maintain work or family responsibilities, and attend sessions several times a week. This approach works well for people with mild to moderate substance use disorders.
All 4 centers in Milford provide medication-assisted treatment using buprenorphine. Buprenorphine is an opioid medication that reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms, making it easier to stick with recovery. It's especially helpful for people dependent on opioids.
Behavioral therapy is the other pillar. All 4 centers offer individual and group substance abuse counseling tailored to your needs. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), available at all 4 centers, teaches you to recognize thought patterns that trigger use and to build new coping skills. Trauma-related counseling is available at all 4 centers as well, since past trauma often underlies addiction.
Motivational interviewing, offered at all 4 centers, strengthens your own reasons for change. Relapse prevention planning at all 4 centers helps you prepare for high-risk situations and build a safety net.
