The Basics
For over five years, Middletown Medical has been providing outpatient Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for opioid addicts in Middletown, New Jersey. Middletown is an affluent community in Monmouth County that regularly appears on “Best Places to Live” lists due to its school system and low crime rate. Currently, Middletown offers treatment plans using methadone. Once a week, it also provides Suboxone at an additional location in Keyport, New Jersey.
Middletown Medical is a member of the Pinnacle provider network, which operates a number of outpatient and residential facilities throughout Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Virginia, Ohio, Minnesota and Michigan.
Treatment and Staff
After clients are assessed, they receive a treatment plan that includes individual therapy in addition to their dosing schedule. Most clients have individual therapy once a week in their first month of treatment and then step down to bi-weekly, monthly and then quarterly sessions.
Clients must attend an orientation session as soon as they’re admitted to the program which address HIV prevention and the clinic’s policies and procedures. Most treatment plans also suggest that clients attend group therapy in the initial phases of treatment. Groups use CBT and REBT to address early recovery issues, handling triggers, anger management and relapse prevention. Groups are scheduled Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. After clients have completed 90 days of treatment, they can begin applying for take-home doses of methadone.
The treatment team at Middletown Medical includes CADCs, CADC-Is and physicians. Counselors also help clients locate peer support meetings such as Methadone Anonymous if they think it would be helpful. The clinic also works with nearby mental health facilities and provides referrals for those requiring dual diagnosis support.
On Thursdays, Middletown Medical offers Suboxone treatment at a nearby location in Keyport, New Jersey. Suboxone clients can inquire about attending groups and counseling at the Middltown location if they’d like extra support.
Middletown Medical hopes that eventually clients will not need MAT, and it works with them to create a treatment plan that culminates in tapering, if they desire. However, clients are not pressured to taper on any set time-line.
Extras
Middletown Medical also offers a periodic family group for support and recovery education.
In Summary
Middletown Medical provides clients MAT for opioid addiction using methadone and Suboxone. With numerous processing groups available throughout the week, clients can learn how to improve their coping skills and ward off relapse while building a community of compassionate peers and counselors.
