Frequently Asked Questions About Substance Abuse Therapies

Do you offer medication-assisted substance abuse treatment?

We do. However, it’s critical to remember that medication alone is not curative and is primarily for symptomatic relief. Medication-assisted solutions are designed to be used in combination with behavioral or mental health therapy for addiction.[2]

What is the success rate of substance abuse therapy?

According to recent data published by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), approximately 29 million adults reported a substance use problem. and just over 20 million considered themselves to be in active recovery or “recovered.”[3] The math indicates that approximately 68% of those initial 29 million have experienced some level of recovery.
