The Advanced Practice Registered Nurse Full Practice Authority is a valuable member to our Medication Assisted Treatment Program (MAT) who provides direct medical clinical care of clients, including History and Physicals at admission and on an annual basis to include ordering labs, appropriate follow-ups, generating referrals, counseling clients, developing treatment plans and prescribing medications within the licensed scope of practice.
Our Medication Assisted Treatment Program (MAT) provides continued treatment for managing substance use disorders, specifically Opioid Use Disorders and Alcohol Use Disorders. All of our outpatient substance abuse programs, including our MAT Program, help clients learn to live without using drugs or alcohol. We pair clinical treatment with the support necessary to instill hope and empower our clients to lead meaningful and productive lives. Our MAT Program will utilize various medications in the treatment of the client’s substance use disorder, primarily Suboxone, Naltrexone (Vivitrol) and Sublocade, along with individual and group therapy, case management, and referrals to medical and psychiatric services.
