About Gateways Outpatient Alcohol and Drug Services
Medication Assisted Treatment helps patients cope with an addiction to prescription drugs/heroin (opioids).
Their medical and treatment teams provide medication in combination with counseling (outpatient and/or intensive outpatient) that comprehensively addresses all aspects of opioid dependence.
Gateways utilizes Suboxone and Vivitrol as part of MAT services.
New patients first undergo an assessment for opioid dependency and physical examination by a primary care physician (including recent lab results) to determine if the patient is eligible for MAT.
Medication will not be prescribed without the patient being involved in treatment.
